Comment on EV battery swaps will be tested with the Fiat 500e in 2024
DreadPotato@sopuli.xyz 9 months agoIf you look at prices for something like the Nio cars without the battery here in Europe, they’re hardly competitive with regular EVs. The price saving is substantially less than a battery replacement.

Yeah, I mean I don’t think it’s a particularly viable plan overall. A lease for a Nissan Leaf is what? £300 a month?
But Americans seem convinced that they drive coast to coast on a regular basis, so an electric car will never do. I can see who they’re trying to appeal to, although 99% of electric car use would be covered by a charger at home.
