Replacing will be viable. We have shops in our area that specialize in replacing batteries in Priuses and Leafs. Upgrading may not be so easy. Remember that the Mustang Mach E has loads of computers running all sorts of systems, not the least of these is battery management. How do you think your software will feel about suddenly getting a 150kWh battery? Will it handle it? Can it be recoded? Does this require a jailbreak and hack? It's not just about installing larger capacity batteries. The car has to be able to access it and calculate things like range.If replacing your car battery isn't viable, then in time an EV will have virtually zero resale value once it's warranty expires. Are we expected to send them to scrap then? Surely it is not just viable, but essential?
