I believe KANDI and/or the battery company retains ownership of the
batteries and plans to very cheaply rebuild ruined batteries. The
rebuilt batteries should be a lot cheaper than new batteries built
using recycled material. If they achieve sufficient turn over, the
stock should not be sitting around long. But, don't mistake me for a
lead-acid fanboy.

Kandi Coco, the Cheapest Car in the World: $865
23 Dec 2009 Daniel Patrascu
When Tata Nano heard about the availability, on US soil, of a car =
which is cheaper than its, its headlamps fell off, and so did its =
self-esteem (if it had any). The rival to the cheapest car in the =
world title is called Kandi Coco (?), it debuted at the 2009 NADA =
Show, it went on sale in March has a price of only...$865.
Now, before you get your hopes up and rush to buy your own Chinese-
made copy of the smart (because, yes, it is Chinese), you should know
the low price may give you additional headaches. Like, for one, you =
would need to live (or move) to Oklahoma to buy one for that amount.
The Coco cost (no pun intended), in fact, $10,599, as autoblog.com =
reported. On paper, because, thanks to a $4,435 federal government =
deduction and a $5,299 Oklahoma rebate, the cost is brought down to =
$865. Some would say it is still worth it...
But wait, there's more. The Coco is a low-speed vehicle, with the top
speed rated at 25 mph. Moreover, it's an electric vehicle with a top
range of 50 to 60 miles per charge...
Surprised, are you? Well, don't be. It looks better than the Nano, =
it's cleaner, and definitely cheaper (again, only if you are an =
Oklahoma resident) that the Indian contender. Sure, it is slow; then =
again, it's faster than a bicycle and at times cheaper than one...
Eat you combustion engine out, Nano! Nobody said you have to dream of =
being sold globally, or that the government shouldn't help you, to be
named the cheapest car in the world! Additional details and specs can
be found here. [

Cor,
Surely one isn't going to *need* a re-charging station every few
blocks as most EV-using city dwellers/visitors will be able to charge
at home for 95% of their use. This is one of the EV's main advantages
over the ICE-based auto scene. The need for fast re-charging stations
away from the main population centres however is imperative.
Agree 100% with Bill tho - Lead is dead (in the context of a future EV
populated world).

It's funny, but "AltEnergyStocks" at TheTradingReport.com seems to
have it backwards.
First he admits he's not a fan of EVs; "The last thing regular readers
expect from me is an article praising a vehicle electrification plan,"
Then he goes on to praise this proposal which is based on swappable
lead acid batteries and no ability for the driver to charge.
It's a shame someone as uninformed as him should have any substantial audie=
nce.
