Every pack is made of a bunch of smaller batteries. You can’t get 400v without batteries in series, from batteries that only make ~3v.

It is, especially when the choice that leads to that extra weight is less reliable, less efficient, and more costly. All things you don’t particularly want in a car
So let’s get back to the real discussion on how the packs actually work. Can you explain how a microcontroller is supposed to put cells in and out of the circuit?
