Think back to the ’90s when Electric Vehicles first became a reality for the average consumer. (Yes, I mean the 90′s that happened 20 years ago, EV’s were alive and well then).
One of the chief concerns for both consumers and change-makers was that of range. EV manufacturers are now toying with different solutions to the same problem: people don’t want to be limited by battery life or lack of charging stations.
A small startup is hoping to be one component of the answer. They are testing a battery swapping station that will allow, in this stage of development, three taxi cabs to drive in and roll along a conveyor belt as if in a car wash. In less than 60 seconds, this station will swap out a car’s battery. That’s less time than it takes to fill your gas tank!
