I'd like to recommend to the moderators that a new section be formed for EV batteries, Just a thought.
As long as 18650's can be found cheap, this website will remain the "go to" place for info on harvesting, testing, and building packs from those. However, I think wrecked EV packs will grow in popularity.
Here's an awesome video on pulling the pack from a Toyota Prius, in order to replace it after about ten years of use. Of course a Prius that is only a year or two old can get in a wreck, so those would be the ones that wewould want.
The individual modules reveal is at 13:40. The posts on each module are threaded, super easy to wire up. The number of cells inside each module is dependent on the year.
I will look for the amp-hour rating, and also the max amps C-rate
