Switch batteries in less than 40 seconds
« on: May 23, 2009, 04:06:34 PM »
Better Place, a west coast startup, has announced that they are on the road to a quick swap of car battery packs.  Their plan is to make battery replacement available in less time than it takes to fill a gas tank.

Their Yokohama video looks like they are well on their way to realizing this goal.  Obviously, this isn't practical until there are lots
of recharge stations and a business model where you rent the battery pack instead of owning it.

Watch the video.  Amazing.
