@VaFish; I would have to agree with you. Should the standardize battery size then the only way to get more range (desirable for ADV bikes) they would have to add additional batts. Cars would be free to use much larger "standardized" batteries but this would require separate "fueling" areas for bikes and cars. I think this will be the way things will go but what do I know?
