This really depends on the car. For the generally anti-Musk crowd here, yes, you're just about right because "EV" means a whole swath of different cars. If you say EV to the gen pop, they hear "Tesla" and those battery systems are buried much further into the vehicle. The Model Y's structural pack has a 343 step r&r process and requires interior removal. A Leaf's battery does drop out the bottom more like a traditional gas tank.
