An example here's an unusual DIY fix for a degraded 27lWh battery. Put a replacement 60kWh battery from a wrecked B olt EV into the boot. From Jordanian Facebook page

Someone there has actually designed a board to go between the BMS and the car's control unit in order to allow battery replacements. From Battery Upgrades are very possible
