I have the original 500e (ya know the one with “80” miles of range) they’re quite popular and very useful day to day. I agree the new 500e is too expensive but I think the range is fine…also the original 500e was about the same price but these days dirt cheap.

Back to the topic at hand: Fuck battery swaps, it’s a bad idea with good intentions and that’s why it keeps failing except for PEV (personal electric vehicles) such as mopeds/ebikes.
