    Has to be a subscription or a per-swap fee. Probably subscription to account for the degradation point.

    But, you essentially have a subscription for car energy now, you probably pay weekly for gasoline. If they can make it competitive to that I think they have a shot. Say $50/week in gas, means $200/month…seems like that could be profitable. And at least some of the money goes all to the car company, not a million different GA stations, which is a good incentive for them to try to make it work.

      I don’t think a subscription would quite work for this. Somebody traveling 10k a month isn’t going to consume the same amount of batteries as someone who’s commuting 1 mile away each day. I certainly wouldn’t want to pay the same amount. Kind of an all you can eat shrimp situation, if you will
