A new incentive to steal cars then. Steal car, harvest battery cells worth $20k+, ditch the rest of the car. No silly VIN numbers, etc. Just anonymous 18650 cells (or whatever they use now).

Wait till the stories come out about criminals discovery what an extremely low impedance source of 700V does to your body.
