The whole repair thing should made super easy if we want EVs to succeed.

  1. Make all batteries use an easily swappable set of standard cell sizes.
  2. Make battery controllers standardised and swappable.
  3. …. Er… that’s it.

Make all cars rechargeable with a single charging port. And that port should be USB-C

[–] LazaroFilm 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

If USB-C isn’t powerful enough, I’ll settle for a Lightning connector.

The one in / from back to the future should be sufficient.
