Making stuff idiot-proof requires several years of trial and error. Maybe the EV people are hiring the wrong idiots to design their safety features.
Most battery chargers have alligator clips.
My NOCO charger has lead acid, AGM, and lithium setting.
When I was researching lithium for my truck camper, I was told that AGM charging profile was very close to lithium.
Most LiPO batteries have a BMS to protect from over charging, and a low and high temp cut off.
I think they are great. Would not want an electric car.
