To: Leaning Right

I was waiting for the industrial response to battery powered vehicles. Each vehicle is bought with a set of two batteries. They are swapped out as the preferred charging method. One is charging while the other is operating. They are slid in and out with a hoist at the charging station next to a gantry. Batteries don’t get short cycled that way.

Reminds me of how you can swap your empty propane bottles for full ones. Of course, if you’re not careful they will give you old, dented, rusted bottles for your pristine, new ones.

At least with the bottles you can tell what you’re getting with a glance...
