[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 661825, member: 4386"] It is already being experimented - up on a hoist and swap in less than 30 minutes (batteries tend to be large and underneath). But super-fast chargers can now charge in 15 without that hassle. I can't imagine it catching on unless they can miniaturize batteries. The big potential is if they can simply increase battery range while keeping in that 15 minute charge range. One other problem is battery warranty - at around $35,000 and a 7-8 year warranty, would you be happy to simply swap your battery for one that had an unknown remaining life or reliability? [/QUOTE]
