I get the cost, but it should be an option to upgrade any current EV to this new style battery.

It's not needed in today's EVs. Things should be upgradable yes, but it's not necessary to replace current existing lithium batteries with this and doing so would probably do more harm than good. The ones we have already outlast the vehicle's lifespan, and go further than a tank of gas.

We don't even know how to recycle these new types, at least we've made some headway with the current gen packs.
