Gogoro Electric Scooter with swappable battery

[Stichill_imp]

I think the battery subscription concept makes good sense.

Nissan brought two Leaf electric cars to my workplace this past week to pitch their virtues and offer test drives. The salespitch mostly revolved around reducing CO2 emissions and cost per mile economy. I drove one of the cars and felt it was a decent and comfortable $18k sedan, but with a $43k price tag. Not for me, thanks.

Even with the tax credit, not viable. I think the key to having an affordable electric is to buy it as late model used car. That knocks off a very large amount of depreciation. There's a 2017 Chevrolet Bolt on autotrader.com with 8,570 miles for $25,950.

Re: Gogoro, I'd like to know if it can do a burnout using peak electric torque from a standstill. Re: the video, it's directed at the adult children in their 20s and 30s who are the target market. Have you ever stayed in a Hilton Tru? Get ready for the culture shock of adult kindergarten.
