Your point is wrong. You have lost track of the original conversation. It was regarding how long it takes to recharge an electric car. Message 29386317 Click back upstream from there.

<My point is... you appear to be flogging a brand here... and it isn't worth much of my time to engage you in addressing the features, flaws, benefits, or lack of them, etc., of the BRAND you are flogging. That brand doesn't appear to me to add much to the topic ? >

There is no brand which offers fast battery swaps. Halo was a side issue which adds to the benefits of fast swaps by providing a way for people to top up cheaply at home or elsewhere when parked. They could also plug in a cable, which is the method used now.

You have swallowed the idea that consumers have to demand something before it's a good idea. Market research is bunk [other than intelligent thinking]. I think it was Steve Jobs who agrees with me that people haven't got a clue what's a good idea until somebody offers it to them: <No, the fact that billions of other people wouldn't like a cute little Halo fast-swap battery-powered electric car is proven by the fact that there aren't billions of people clammering for them.> No consumers clammered for CDMA but I thought it was a great idea to invent it anyway. What people do want is cheaper kilometres. Stopping to buy fuel is not a good thing and it's worse when doing so costs lots of money.

The objections showed ignorance, not objections. <We're telling you why. You don't want to hear it. And, in response to the objections shown... which, even though loosely presented, appear perfectly valid... > THEY were the ones who did not want to hear. They were straw man objections. "Hahaha, a battery weighing 2 tons and costing a $million bucks is so stupid and would require 2 hours and a million dollar gantry crane". That's not objection, it's ignorance.

So, drop it if you are not interested, but don't pretend there was a rational reply.

There is no brand selling what I'm saying [fast swap batteries]. You have probably got yourself tangled up with Halo which was a side issue. Feel free to mention other things if you wish. Go back to see what was discussed if you want to continue. I'm not much interested in explaining things to people who don't want to know.
