- ChrisMarshallNY 3y agoSo how do they deal with rogue swap-station owners that substitute defective/fake batteries?
- b112 3y agoJail?⁰
- ceejayoz 3y agoCredit card chargebacks?
- nvy 3y agoI think we all know it's going to be on-battery DRM.
- jstanley 3y agoHow do you deal with rogue petrol station owners that sell bad fuel?
- mschuster91 3y agoSerious audits, both by government regulatory authorities and the oil wholesale industry - no big oil brand wants to appear in the news headlines for selling bad fuel.
- ChrisMarshallNY 3y agoAround here, the entire fuel delivery system is under heavily-audited state seal. You can see the seals, every time you drive into the station.
- motohagiography 3y agoI think what might actually work would be have part of the price of selling the charged battery price-in an insurance policy for its operation. Fuel stations would take on battery failure risk and have a replacement delivery service, with a rating of how often it gets used. Battery verification using a proof of work or physically unique function (PUF) could be interesting, but subject to the same problems of attestation and verification existing systems have today. If we solved it for batteries, we'd have solved it for everything, so I don't see that happening.
- ChrisMarshallNY 3y agoThat makes sense.
