If you pick the method of battery assembly carefully enough, some of these packs disassemble rather easy making cell replacement almost a DIY home process. Prius and chevy come to mind. Power electronics replacement becomes the next issue, but the aftermarket bunch seem to be gaining on that with newer more efficient controllers and chargers.
