As an individual I wouldn't have 2 cars, but as a family we already have 2 vehicles and I could see replacing one of them with an EV and just using that for commuting. Right now I figure I'm 3 to 5 years out from replacing one of your vehicles, at which time I hope to replace it with an EV.
They've scrapped the battery swap. The trouble is the whole base of the car is batteries. The procedure was difficult and uptake was very low.
