I think what the electric car industry needs to do is adopt the "propane" business model: You don't generally get your propane tank refilled, you exchange it for a filled one. Someday you should be able to pull into a service station in your electric car and have your almost-depleted battery exchanged for a fully charged one (batteries would have to log the number of charge/discharge cycles they've been through in order to vary the credit you get for the one you're exchanging). This would of course require standardization of car batteries and creation of a quick remove/replace architecture. A lot of standardization and infrastructure hurdles to clear, to be sure, but I don't see battery charging rates approaching the time it takes to fill a 10-gallon gasoline tank any time soon. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
