An all electric car, that changes batteries, instead of filling up on a
tank of gas. would take less time, not pollute, drive the price of fuel
down, satisfy the ''global warming freaks'' end auto inspections for
pollution. be quieter, stop sea levels from rising, save the whales,
You could even charge your batteries, with solar electric cells, in the
parking lot while you are at work.

=====================================
Less time? I bet you couldnt change your one battery in less time than
it takes to gas up. Now imagine if you had to unbolt and wrassle a
dozen big ol T105 boogers around at about 70 lbs a piece. Wearing a
suit and late to work. Its takes more KWhrs to drive you car to work
and back than it does to run your house for a day.... maybe 30KWhrs. If
you have 4 big 2" x 4" solar panels that are about 200 W each, you have
almost a KW for about 6 hrs? That will get you about half charged up.
Hope you dont work nite shift.....

You obviously have a 'quick change shop' to do it.

Don't keep yourself in the dark ages Bob
-----------------------------------------------------
Have you ever watched a carpenter, change the battery in his electric
drill?.
It takes about 5 seconds.
----------------------------------------------------
The same technology can be applied to your new electric car, When Gas
becomes $5 a gallon that is.!
------------------------------------------------------
Instead of a gas pump, Your service station will have a ramp, with
batteries setting on rollers. while being charged.
-----------------------------------------------------
A woman won't even need help from an attendant. Just Insert your credit
card, pay $3, a battery will be released.
-------------------------------------------------
Punch a button, your discharged battery, also mounted on rollers will be
disconnected, role it onto the ramp, role the charged battery onto the
cars rollers, punch the button again,the battery is secured, and you
drive off. for aunt Minerva's picnic.

Idiot.
The batteries in electric cars weigh 2000 pounds. The battery in the drill
weighs about 4 ounces.
