That all sounds very impressive, rocket m00se. Until you get down to the tricky business of actually trying to identify and replaced a single failed cell in a massive factory-sealed battery array. It is NOT easy and there are many traps placed in your way on purpose. I would rather work on a broken ICE vehicle any day of the week.
It's almost like I specifically mentioned that modern vehicles (no matter the powerplant) aren't designed to be fixed by the person driving it, and are created so that special tools/technicians are needed.
I stand by my point, EM's are far simpler and if they were designed like old cars with the owner in mind, they'd be dead simple for someone with next to zero knowledge to troubleshoot compared to the over engineered mess that internal combustion ended up as.
