The article mentions that they mostly use batteries from the Nissan Leaf and Honda Clarity. I'm not sure about the latter, but the Nissan Leaf does not have any kind of battery management system. That keeps the battery warm in winter and cool in summer, and helps it last a lot longer. Nearly every major EV on the market does this, but the Leaf is the big exception. It's also the one car where you'll see severe range degradation on an older model.
