"Electric Cars can be designed to allow a fast battery swap, exchanging your battery for a fully charged battery in less than half the time it takes to refill a gas tank. This offers Tesla Model S drivers an even faster option when recharging while driving long distances."
Still haven't figured out where all the electricity is going to come from.

I just googled "Tesla battery replacement cost", and it came up with $16,000 parts and labor, with 13 hours required to perform the task. Even my old Ford truck with dual gas tanks took considerably less than 26 hours to fill both tanks.
