70 miles per battery.
If people think this is a positive, they're retarded.
This has its positives and it's negatives.
I couldn't resist-or. yuk,yuk,yuk.
The battery range seems a little low, but for a taxi, a system like this would make sense rather than an hour or more at a charging station.
A 2 minute battery change means 15+ minutes while you wait. Every 70 miles. I was thinking, "maybe ok for the housewife that rarely leaves home" but not for a taxi. And certainly not for an American that lives outside downtown NYC.
And you'll need these changing stations all over the place. More dense than gas stations.
EV's are a waste.
A fresh battery lasts 150km in winter...
It's actually 93 miles, and with winter driving that can easily cut the range in half. Probably summer time range is above 200 miles.
EV's are a waste if they are charged with anything but renewable energy, which currently stands at less than 15% worldwide. Also, a bigger issue is recycling all the "new" technology we're creating.
