Yeah, excellent. what happens after a million charges or after the battery just dies? Who's gonna pay for it? It would be great, but it won't happen.

You could always use LiPo batterys or something, and charge them within 30 minutes using really high currents...

The only feasible way to do this economically. would be a lease type program on the batteries. Even then this would only be a stop gap solution untill a more efficient system could be developed. Besides battery technology still has a ways to go before it becomes a viable energy source.

@anothershakey A million charges? Let see. the average user is going to charge their car one... maybe twice per day. So at 1,000,000 / ( 365 * 2 ) = 1,369 years. Despite the fact I know your numbers came out of the blue, simply math mutes your point.

i predicted this several years ago, except each automaker will have specific batteries and you must stop at their "recharging" stations. Or exxon, BP, Shell, etc. will set up battery swap locations..only prob. if someone has a defective/ dead battery, they can limp into these stations and dump their garbage for a new one..therefor battery will have to be tested, before swap. even then we may go in with a 1 month old battery, and come out with a 5 year old battery that's ready to die.

these batteries can cost somewhere between 7 and 12 thousand dollars... This is not a possible 5 minute transaction.

For those who wanna modfiy their cars, we are gonna have a problem lol. We cant just change the voltage with this system but only the motor coils. Its a great concept for normal use, but lack modding potential

Berta Benz 1889 needet about 15 min to refuel the 1st car

New Mercedes need about 5 min at fuelstations

?New Elektrikcars need 8 hours?<<<No Future

URECA System needs 15 sec<<<Thats Future

I dont want to buy a Car with wire..even my cellphone dont have one

Very cool

@anothershakey your right itll probably not work for the public but i think this would be great for public works departments, schools, and small delivery operations

@anothershakey Renault is gonna do it

Trolleybuses and trams do have batteries but these are only for supplying power when it is not coming from the wires. With trams, this allows the doors to still be opened if the tram becomes insulated and the pantograph needs to be lowered before hand. Trolleybuses may only have limited off-wire range, but their total range is by far superior to both diesel and CNG buses.
