[QUOTE="Allen, post: 395989, member: 389"] I too have often wondered why the car makers and/or regulators didn't start out the whole EV thing with a standardized battery pack and connections. Then I looked and saw that the batteries weigh between 500 and 2900 lbs (that heavy one is in the Hummer H3), so a "standardized" battery pack would have to be small enough to fit in the frunk (or wherever) in the smallest of EV, and the bigger EVs would need to be able to accommodate multiple battery packs. Then there would likely be some issues with weight distribution. In general, I view this as nothing more than an engineering challenge and suspect it will happen sometime down the road, like well before I ever think about buying one. [/QUOTE]
