Lead-acid batteries aren't lithium ion? And the car starter battery isn't equivalent to that of an EV?
You might as well say that I have trouble starting my gas weed wacker, therefore cars are hard to start.
You can buy a lithium car battery these days. Expensive as all get out, but you can get one.
You shouldn't replace a different type of battery with another. The vehicle will be set up with a different charging profile and you'd need to change that as well.
Yeah, that's a fantastic way to start a fire. Lithium really doesn't like being treated like lead acid...
