That longevity likely exceeds the life of the car.
It’d be kind of neat to take the battery from your old vehicle and port it to your new one. An automotive BYOB, if you will.
Well, make it swappable so it can be put into another car? Or use it as energy storage at home?
Good ideas, but you're missing the biggie - multigenerational cars.
