    I feel like there’s still a use-case for swapping. I’m not an expert but I imagine superfast charging like this can be taxing to the battery and will shorten its life faster. The idea of getting a fresh, fully charged battery at a charging station without having to plug in sounds convenient too.

      i believe the only problem with fast charging is when the battery gets too hot. if there’s adequate cooling, i think it doesn’t matter how fast you charge the battery

      There will be some use cases of course, but the price is too high for most. Currently, the price is 169€/month for the battery rent alone, additional “swaps” cost extra.

      At this price point, it doesn’t seem economical for me.
