Is that all you have to do? Just swap out the battery? Do ya just keep spares in the trunk?
Sounds like it will be a fun car! Super fast and 2x more efficient than a hybrid (really?).
Wow

That is one of the options… You can also recharge 80% of the battery capacity in 45 minutes….
I think the battery swap is a great idea as it will allow for “battery” stations in stead of gas stations… and will permit switching to a higher capacity battery as time goes by. Like trading up to a bigger gas tank in your car.. but in only 5 minutes.
It’s my plan to get a spare with the car so I can double the initial effective range. However I’m optimistic that it will be greater than 300 miles by the time I take delivery!
Up next.. electric airplanes!!!!
