You do realize you will be paying for electricity when charging at home right ?
Do you expect to buy a car and then never have to pay for "fuel" again ?
Might be misunderstanding this, but I think reb's point is that you are sort of paying for your fuel twice, once when you buy the car and again when you have to pay for the battery switch.
I know that you are really paying for the convenience of getting in and out quickly, but that is free with gas powered cars.

Exactly, I guess the point is, this is not economically viable until they improve the technology of charging at the stations. Battery swaps are going to wreak havoc. Having something so integral to your car moving forward being taken out and replaced with another just has too many potential problems.

So you don't pay for your gas ?
