The fact that you put a price of $50k on an electric vehicle shows you don't understand the typical American budget. Most people aren't looking for a $50k car. Only debt backs cars at $50k for most Americans. Bring it down to 20k for the car and let someone else worry about the battery pack...

The way China is doing it makes more sense than how we in the "free market" United States are doing it. Lots of companies can make batteries lighter or more energy dense per unit of space and will over time, but once a battery is built into the car, you can't swap it without expense. Gas...

If there's a gas station owner with a leaky or old tank system, befriend him with a bunch of battery packs and a robot, stored under the ground, where it's the same temperature. Is this making sense people? I mean, really? We're using chargers for the car? Stupid. Order a coffee while you wait...

I can't even believe we're entertaining charging time as a real thing when it comes to EVs. These companies should focus on making the car itself and standardize their battery cooling system designs, then team with battery makers to make the battery pack hot swappable. In reality, the winning...
