Itโ€™d be ideal if we could settle on a few sizes - kind of like how we have AA, AAA, C, D, etc. batteries. One can be for such mopeds, one larger for cars and some smaller ones to fill various otherwise empty spaces in a car.

This is precisely where weโ€™re going to get fucked, though, because the modern pathological mindset of every tech company now is to try to build their own proprietary walled fiefdom to try to lock in suckers recurring revenue sources customers and they wonโ€™t make their stuff compatible with anyone elseโ€™s unless the government forces them to. Maybe if weโ€™re lucky there will be a decade or two of highly public bitching (see also: the Tesla charging connector) until someone eventually capitulates.
