Kia and Hyundai might decide that the 64 kWh capacity they have today is more than enough. Kona is small for many people with children, the e-Niro is better, but as the size and the total weight (with the travellers and the their packs) of the vehicle grows, it would be nice to have bigger pack, to raise the range on the highways also.

Oh wait, you wouldn’t hook those into the battery pack, because then those modules would have to match the voltage of the main battery, and that would require 88 or 96 cells, which makes it way to heavy for a human to lift into place.

Range is more than good enough. Along with its subsidiaries, the … Can’t we imagine a basic battery and the possibility of renting an extra battery for long trips (like, I think, the upcoming electric FIAT)?

When Volkswagen introduces the ID.3 with 45, 58 and 77 kWh battery Hyundai/Kia would be in a better position if they could match that with a 80 kWh battery, together with the 39 and 64 kWh batteries.
