Reply to comment by Commercial-Army2431 in ELI5 why do electric vehicles have one big battery that's hard to replace once it's expired, rather than lots of smaller ones that could be swapped out based on need (to trade off range/power/weight)? by ginonofalg

It's the question marks.

Usually people use multiple question marks like that when they aren't asking a real question but asking a rhetorical question to make the OP sound like an idiot. Usually in the context of trying to point out "obvious" information.

I can see how that would read like a snarky belittling response. It was not my intention.

I know it wasn't your intention, just trying to give you some insight on the downvotes. People here will read punctuation before they read the words.
