Battles with Integrity

It's not about comparing minutes to batteries, but comparing minutes to miles.

Miles (driven) aren't tangible objects which are stockpiled and maintained in strategic locations either, but are windows of time and space on the existing road and energy networks.

Yes, batteries are expensive, heavy and inefficient, so what if someone else was handling the battery issue, and all you had to do was drive the car.

If you could, for example, pay X pennies per mile and exchange your car battery anytime you need to for a fresh battery (because the infrastructure is already there, because the battery switch takes 60 seconds, and because it's included in your mileage plan), and X was a smaller number than you pay for your gas car, would it still be crazy talk?
