Yeah they’re all 200+ now, I was told it’s because only a few companies make batteries and with the rise in popularity of electric vehicles now they are in shorter supply.
I don’t know if that’s true, but that’s what some mechanic told me when I went to get a new one recently

This doesn’t make much sense at first glance, because the battery in an electric vehicle uses completely different technology and chemistry compared to a classic car battery (lithium-ion Vs lead-acid).

Every EV I’ve seen has separate 12V battery, same as fuel cars do.
Sure but that wouldn’t increase demand for those separate batteries regardless of the technology.
Unless there are a lot more cars on the road or EVs consume them faster for some reason.
