Better Place Wind Powered Electric Car Charging Stations Coming to Aus

I really dunno about swapping out batteries.

Battery packs for electric cars are huge and expensive, it just seems like something will go horribly wrong in the swapping process.

That battery replacement system just wouldn't work unless all EV manufacturers agreed to make the same design for detaching the battery. This would also be too expensive to operate unless the batteries used could be recharged an infinite amount of times. That charging station is a good idea as it was implemented a hundred years ago in New York city back when EVs were common.

A renault laguna looks a little to heavy for this type of application, more particulary for a city use. But it's probably just a demo, I hope the final car be more light to increase the autonomy. The same project should be realized too in Israel.
