About battery replacements for EVs, I have seen reman batteries for hybrid cars, but am not sure about EV batteries.
EV batteries are bigger and heavier than cells for hybrid cars. And when the batteries are engineered for super-duper acceleration and superfast charging, it's not possible for an aftermarket shop to do this job. No way.
Even EV makers have orphaned their earlier models. There's not enough money in making replacement batteries for these old EVs, and the makers are too busy with building new models. These early EVs will be sadly scrapped.
