    You know what I’m not excited for, all these companies locking long battery life behind a fricken paywall. My future car is gonna be carrying around a heavy-ass battery and not be able to use the entire volume.

    I’m really hoping not, but I expect the least from these companies.

      In theory, EV’s should be very maintainable. They’re very simple, mechanically, and other than packaging, batteries are batteries. Even these new batteries Toyota is touting will provide a DC voltage for done amount of time.

      It seems vehicle manufacturers are trying to lock vehicles behind DRM though.

      Here’s hoping right to repair continues to gather Steam.
