Her experience highlights the need for #Congress to #Standardize EV batteries for ALL passenger vehicles so we can have #EV #Battery Swap kiosks installed at every gas station in the country. #ThinkOutsideTheBox

This less-than-transparent behaviour on the part of #NIST, when added to all their #machinations trying to obscure the deep involvement of the #NSA in the competition, instead attributing NSA's work to NIST itself, is troubling.

To a conspiratorially-minded person, Occam's Razor might suggest that it was NSA's #attempt to get the world to #standardize on #encryption that is much #weaker than claimed - i.e., encryption that they know they can already #break.

Shades of #Dual #EC #DRBG...

We also need to #standardize Li #cells as well. Right now, it's as if every 1920s radio manufacturer that ever was had their own different, proprietary, and incompatible A, B, and C batteries, and we still had to live with that, buying batteries only from the manufacturer of the device.

This is perfectly feasible. We have #cylindrical cell standards, now we just have to define them for #prismatic #pouch cells. Make battery #sellers #compete on #quality and #price.
