Welcome to the future of motoring.
Not the battery swapping bit....to clunky.
The wireless charging.
Certainly I'm experiencing the charging cable thing is ok, and general infrastructure is tbh, poor.
Wireless charging tho.....Park, charge.
Looking further ahead, imagine highways with trickle charge tech in roads, you'd charge as you drive! Your range could be practically infinite!
One big flaw to existing requirements is availability of off street parking for urban dwellers, and load demand to existing local networks where multiple domestic car chargers get installed.
If your getting charged where you Park or drive away from your residence....those issues pretty much disappear...
Definitely see monetary charges increasing in line with existing govmt requirements in line with petrol taxes/Road taxes etc however.
So far this month, my EV has cost £53 to charge
at home. The truck, at current deisel prices would have been £350+, so that's something like ~£125 or so the gvmt has lost from me....in 2 weeks!!!!
The EV thing is infectious too....my Boss has put an order in for a Tesla, and my neighbour is looking into it. People seem to be waiting for someone they know to give good first hand reports before having confidence and taking the plunge.
As EV numbers increase....the cost of running will go up I suspect...

It will.
Also, there are no "small" breakdowns on an electric vehicle.
Battery is 10K+, electric motor is $7500+.

I don't plan on keeping any EV too long, this one prob 18 month then chop it in for a new one. The long term thing isn't something I want to deal with. |

Neighbor kid wanted it. $3,000 later,he owned it. He is still driving it. I am really fussy about maintenance. I don't know how long he will drive it before something breaks. He is good with maintenance as well. It truly is an amazing design on that 5.9 Cummins. |

An Electric Bus Caught Fire After Battery Explosion in Paris
A video recording shows the start of the fire which completely consumed an electric RATP bus on Friday 29 April. The incident caused no injuries. The bus burst into flames within seconds. This is what can be seen on the video that captured the very beginning of the fire of an electric vehicle of the RATP in Paris , this Friday, April 29. In the images, we can see a small explosion occur on the roof of the bus, where the batteries are located, followed by huge flames that spread to the entire body, at breakneck speed. This line 71 bus caught fire in the 13th arrondissement of Paris in the morning, mobilizing around thirty workers, according to the firefighters contacted by Le Parisien. It is a 100% electric vehicle, from the Bolloré brand Bluebus 5SE series, like the bus that burned down at the beginning of April .
This afternoon, the RATP decided to temporarily withdraw from circulation the 149 Bolloré electric bluebuses that circulate on its network.
