It's the stories like this that bother me. And even if the batteries were easier to find and cheaper the newest car I have is 9 years old.

As far as I'm concerned to make electric vehicles a viable option they need to standardize the batteries or do something that make them easier and affordable to replace because not everyone can afford to buy a new car every few years.
