Exactly. I'm looking for a repairable EV, and so many kinda suck. A lot have big computer modules that control nearly everything, the battery pack uses bespoke parts that aren't available from the manufacturer, etc. They probably need less maintenance, but they will need that maintenance eventually.

It's disappointing the direction everything is going.
