-> I got good news/bad news.  Technology changing so fast, that the
-> standard you wish for may not develop.
That's all good news to me, Day.  I'd HATE the battery swap scenario
anyway.
-> new cars in two years... the automakers will love them because
-> they will reduce the structural problems supporting a 30-40 lb
-> regular battery.
And I'll love it too since I won't have to haul the heavy critters
around.
Now, if this technology is REAL, and not the result of some engineer's
mental masturbation, we're ALL gonna love it!  I've been preaching for
years that all that's lacking for robotics (Electric man) to take off is
a good, small*cheap*reliable*powerful*light, power source.
An electric bicycle with a three pound 24 volt battery or a small car
with a two hundred pound 240 volt battery is getting into the realm of
"reasonable."
