Wait, battery swapping was your idea! Quite a feat, making even Elon Musk demonstrate it for you! It's saddening to hear that finally, after over a decade of failure after failure to commercialize your idea all over the world, finally someone stole your unique idea no one never thought about :'( Maybe sue these idea thieves? |

They can build a website though. |

I do claim to be the Prince of Sardony :-DD I read recently that EVs market is crashing as the realities of ownership come through. Trying to renew insurance on EVs has become prohibitively expensive (in UK). The humble Citroen Ami is suffering with hardly any Insurers wishing to quote and then only to long time trusted drivers with max NCB £500+ pa (for an 8hp vehicle?). Poor winter performance results in drastic reduction in available mileage range and persistent lack of charging stations gives the used car market a lack of confidence. The worst aspect of all is in trying to determine the SOH of the battery. With an ICE you pretty much know by the mileage what the cars value is. With an EV you cant readily asses the battery SOH because it varies wildly depending on whether the car has been fast charge thru its life or more gently thru a household charger. The battery is ca half the total cost of the car. After a few years the insurance value of the car is ca 50% of new, so a slight bump often results in the car written off as its not worth repairing. |

even with a small bump on a almost new electric car, as the battery is not replaceable, sends the car to the trash ... having standard exchangeable batterie modules between car manufacturers would be the best thing to build for the planet... but it will surely not be. :( |
