Jsut to be clear, the idea was that you would go to the gas station and trade in an empty battery for a full one. In this case it is better for the people to not own the battery since they will be getting different ones all the time.
Of course it would also make sense to allow people to keep the battery and recharge it themselves, in which case they would be paying for holding the battery.
- craftyguy 9y agoI wholeheartedly agree, and believe that this model is the only way to make electric vehicles mainstream. Battery performance/range can only be improved so much with the current technology (and future battery tech. is still a looong ways off), and not everyone is willing to wait tens of minutes to charge their vehicles (e.g. when on long-distance trips.)
