A NEW EV GENERATION
There is a suggestion regarding EV batteries:
It is that all EV makers, to agree at some unified standards regarding batteries.
These are:
----------------
- Unified sizes and dimensions of batteries.
- Unified sizes and dimensions of the space in the car bottom for batteries.
- Unified way of fixing batteries in a car.
- Unified way of connecting the cooling system to batteries.
- Unified way of electric and electronic connections to the battery.
- Better so, a unified voltage, for battery output.
The idea is like this:
* 3 sets of "class-of-size" of batteries -meaning 3 sets of battery dimensions- might be produced, in order to fit small, medium and large sized cars .. something like: A , AA and AAA batteries, for household use.
** In Each "class-of-size" of battery type, batteries would be produced in a fixed width and fixed height, but with a variable length, within limits..
Meaning that: batteries of different lengths, would have different capacities, despite fixed width and height..
*** Mirroring the previous point:
The battery space in car bottom, would follow the same rules:
Fixed width and height, but the length would be the maximal, for that "class-of-size" of battery type.
Thus, we would find batteries of different capacities, for small, for medium and for large sized cars.
Meaning, the battery pool for all cars, would be of some 12, 15, 18 -or even more- different capacities..
But all would lie within the 3 sets of "class-of-size" of battery type.
That will allow customers to replace the future batteries by their own, choosing the capacity and the brand, according to their preference and affordability .. something like replacing a tire (tyre).
EV makers, then, would have more freedom to improve the other aspects of the vehicle, after being freed up of batteries headache.
On the other hand, as a result of the mass production, the specialized battery manufacturers, would have better atmosphere for competition: for further product improvement, and price lowering."
That means appearance of a new generation of Electric Cars :
The "Compatible Batteries EV" generation.
Or simply : the "CBEV" generation.
And an electric vehicle of that generation would be classified as: a CBEV.
