New article in Car and Driver on Supercharger build out across America with nice map. How Tesla and Elon Musk Are Building an EV Infrastructure Car and Driver
The scoop in that article is battery swapping. If they are right, Tesla will roll out commercial battery swapping with $60-80 per swap price if you come back and pick up your original battery on the return. That's news.
Objective1 - Not exactly breaking news, see the battery swap video on Tesla's website, announced June 21st 2013: http://www.teslamotors.com/batteryswap
Yeah, I was wondering if they had any new info regarding battery swaps. Got interested when I saw this image, but then I read the caption.
The news (if there is any) is 1) that Tesla really is building some swap stations for customers to use (rather than just saying they will and demo-ing the tech to get the ZEV credit boost); and 2) the pricing assumption that one will travel round-trip.
