Im reading about an NPR story about battery pack swapping? IMHO it will NEVER be done, or will any manufacture be willing to swap techno secrets with another manufacture . the battery packs would have to be made to fit every EV being built, and that aint going to happen. These guys cant even agree on how to fasten a plastic bumper and you want them to agree on a common battery pack????
The Only reason a fork lift battery works so well is thats its a CUBE, and the machines counter weight, they make them heavy and a CUBE to fit the machine, If its a pallet loader then its a rectangle shaped box,,and also the counter weight ,, Here it is, A 5,000 LB fork lift weighs 5,000 lbs and has to pick up 5,000 lbs, so a combined weight of 10,000Lbs . I got my start in this business working on electric fork lifts in 72 when I got out of the Army, its always been this way. and the charger is like a Fridge , and mostly running on 220 ,3 ph, or 440 3 ph.
Again, I dought very much any car company will want to see a quick change battery pack for a company built car.. to much liabilities to worry about ,,and Ford will never work with GM or Toyota or Nissan, or Honda. forgetabout it, it aint going to happen . When you finally get hit behind the head with the reality board , you wake up and see it for what its worth.. I say 90 % of these guys out there with this NEW QUICK FIX are looking for investors ,quick money,,a scam,,call it what you want. Things dont work the way YOU want them to, they work the way MONEY wants them to work . But its good to dream ,,kills time
