You may not own the battery pack, but one way or another you will be paying for it, and it ain’t cheap.
The true value and actual cost of operating these cars won’t be known until after the battery’s average life span under real world conditions is established.
I understand that. You’d probably still pay a mid-range price for a swap. $40-$50 bucks.
I’m thinking you’d have to have an awful lot of batter packs on site to handle the business though.
