They aren't that hard, just no one wants to actually do it. Harder than a fuel tank and requires actual training, for sure, but it isn't that hard for a trained person. I've seen reports of batteries actually doing fairly well, although I suspect that's brand dependant, the Nissan leaf got a pretty bad rep for being hot trash. Literally, I think the issue was a passive cooled battery just degrading it at absurd rates.

That was 1st generation Nissan Leafs. The 2nd generation ones are good.
