What backs it

CATL, the world's largest battery manufacturer, is building robotic repair centers designed to fix damaged EV batteries at the cell level in under 72 hours, reducing repair costs from approximately $15,000 for full replacement to roughly $1,480, and plans to expand to 100 cities worldwide by end of 2026.

Worth noting

These are announcements of planned expansion; the network is still in early deployment phases with 1,376 franchise centers already operating.
