    If it's a company car then yes....
    If your paying for it then don't bother, you'll lose more money on it in 10 years then you would a diesel, infrastructure with batteries isn't there yet, nor most the charging ports for that matter

    There was a video of a bloke setting fire to his Tesla after getting quoted £20 odd thousand to change his batteries months out of warranty

    As well as being cool it's the only sensible way of taking electric vehicles forward.

    Get the infrastructure right and this type of system will quickly kill off charging individual cars.

    Once changing your car's power pack equates timewise with filling your tank with diesel then EVs will become much more popular.

    I agree but I wonder what the motor industry thinks of collaborating over standard size/fitment of batteries?
