We do not need battery exchange stations.
Studies done in 1996 by the University of California indicate that households place a high value on avoiding retail fuelling stations. Prior studies have documented a dislike of gasoline stations. This suggests that home recharging is the highest valued attribute of the Electric Vehicle.
What are the benefits of Home Recharging?
• No more waiting in line at the gas station
• No more snack temptation at the gas station
• No more smelly gas hands
• No more checking the oil
• More time for you
Driving Range: Any disutility of reduced driving range in one household vehicle is small for most mutli-car households. Any household that can adapt to any reduced range adapts to a range of 240 km or less.
Emissions: Research should focus less on new batteries that provide a longer range (i.e. higher specific energy and energy density), and more on improved battery cycle life, energy management and manufacturing costs.
