    We don’t have standardized batteries for a lot of electronics, different types of lipo, lead acid but they are swappable(not interchangeable) you understand. Doesn’t mean never. But we need to start, innovation should not stagnant because people think it’s never gonna become one single standardized option. Also that sounds like a monopoly

      We don’t need it. More chargers can solve the problem fine. Swappable batteries change the infrastructure build out from chargers to swap stations. It’s not going to be deployed any faster, but we already have a running start on chargers.

      Also, there’s savings to be had by integrating the battery directly into the frame. You’re not going to swap that.

      Trying to get the industry to standardize is a waste of time.
