One thing that mystifies me is the way car companies implements electric cars. So here you have a car that has a limited range. So when the batteries are depleted your supposed to stop for several hours and recharge them? Why? There is already an infrastructure (gas stations) that would be able to handle the recharging. When your battery is about to go empty, you just stop at a recharging station (gas station) and exchange to a freshly recharged battery. Just make the batteries in a box that’s exchangeable. What you pay for is the recharging of batteries and you pay a little extra for using the battery. This covers the cost of replacing used up batteries for the charging station. Of course they all have to agree to use the same size for the batteries, and to make a way of getting the battery changing done automatically. But if you can put a man on the moon, surely you could make this work? Maybe I’m missing something. And another way of making electric cars popular? Try performance. It’s very easy to make electric cars accelerate like hell. Just make a cheap, nice looking and fast accelerating electric car tailored for young people. Like the Ford Mustang used to do. If your ass is kicked at the stoplight by an electric car you may consider one the next time you buy a car. Especially if you don’t have to stop and wait for recharging.
