If it plays out like that and it speeds the electrification of the fleet, that would, of course, be awesome. It's just that that's not how I'm reading the tea leaves. I'll bet you a cup of coffee or other suitable beverage that, a decade from now, EVs will be at least as popular as non-plugin hybrids are today (with almost all other new cars as some sort of hybrid, whether plugin or not), but that battery swaps won't be a significant part of the equation. (The bet's off if peaking oil tanks the global economy and takes out R&D efforts with it.) b& -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
