What is the range? Why not make it compatible with project Better Place, so batteries can be swapped out and to make sure all electric cars use the same charger connectors?

Are u nuts??? Why make anything compatible with a better place battery swapping system that has yet to proove it wotks - let alone more than one prototype in Japan shown 3 months ago. Better Place is built on hot air and nothing tangible. Technologically speaking, their credibility is nowhere to be found as far as being able to disconnect, swap and re-connect in a safe, secure and effective manner. In countries with snow, salt and gravel during cold months, it is destined to fail. Denmark will find out soon enough, but its utility customers will pay the price - and Aggassi is laughing all the way to the bank. Wake up - no car manufacturer will produce EV's with swappable batteries. Renault has committed one as well as Nissan, but both will produce multiple EV's in addition without swappable batteries. Better Place will ultimately offer charging stations - which will be the future as it is already being implemented as opposed to Better Place battery swapping yet-to-exist technology.
