The repairability of EVs is shit. Tesla doesn't sell off the shelf parts for example. There is no Toyota Corolla of EVs or anyone going in that direction, as far as I can see, especially for the west.
There would need to be a battery tech breakthrough, right to repair laws, standardization ect. Lithium batteries are too expensive and they are not getting cheaper.
There's barely even a Toyota Corolla of ICE anymore. Everything is moving against right to repair and getting more techy. The Bolt is pretty close and is coming back, and there will be more cheaper cars. I don't care about Tesla, they aren't the whole market and they are awful for many reasons. And batteries absolutely are getting cheaper:
