Fixing car and e-bike batteries saves money and resources, but challenges are holding back the industry

We have an BMW i3. 8 years old. Battery is fine. But car is written off now because the inverter failed. 11k€ repair. Worst part is that due to BMW software locks it’s almost impossible for third party repair to work on the car. Any replaced part needs to be “blessed” by BMW.

That’s the bullshit we should be focusing on. And not only in the EV space. See John Deere
