This whole battery renting scheme is bad, that's pure greed.

The battery renting thing is great! The relatively short life of batteries and the price of replacing them is one of the biggest problems with electric cars. Renting means that isn't your problems anymore.

Renting means that isn't your problems anymore.

I wonder when did the companies became so generous to pick the tab for all their customers. Maybe if you are in the market for short duration it might work but I don't see it begin cheaper for the customer in long run.

Some people buy cars, some people lease them. Why should batteries be different?

Even if battery leasing is the future, it would be nice if you were allowed to decide yourself where to lease it.
