I’m very excited by the prospect of aftermarket batteries with better technology. This doesn’t get discussed super often, but as an owner of a gen 1 leaf with an aging battery, I’ve very excited by this.
To sum up the premise: volts are volts and watts are watts. So long as can get something with a comparable battery controller into the right size and shape and space, its basically arbitrary what technology is making the angry pixies go from - to +.
This opens the door for range improvements to much older EV’s.

They already have third-party batteries for ebikes as well as battery repacking services for proprietary batteries.
Hopefully, such services come for cars, assuming we get comprehensive R2R for cars and bikes.
Some ebikes have proprietary stuff like proprietary motors, spokes, and batteries.
