  • A battery

    A highly complex system with support systems to prevent it from literally blowing up (mmmmm tasty lithium)

    A battery management system

    A seriously complex piece of model specific code that is usually proprietary and has hardware level bricking fuses (so fuck you if it has a fault)

    And also, all the other management shit like regen braking and what have you.

    You’re doing a “reduction”. If you reduce literally anything to such high abstraction it seems simple. Yes, quantum physics is also " just " an observation of a continuous system, nothing to it mate

    ICE cars can be completely reassembled with a couple of wrenches. The most proprietary thing in the whole system is the ECU, and you can swap that and whatever if you wish to do so.

    So much easier UNTIL one of the six million proprietary silicon bullshit breaks (or planned obsolescence) and you’re SoL without official manufacturer support.

    EVs are a maintainability and reparability nightmare, despite not needing maintenance as often

    Anyone crazy enough to design a FOSS EV?
