Tesla Batteries Low? Swap Them Out

Wednesday, 19 June 2013 | by Pat's Picks

On Thursday, electric carmaker Tesla will demonstrate a fast way to swap out the batteries on its Model S sedan as an alternative to pulling over and re-charging at one of the stations Tesla has been building across the country. The San Francisco Chronicle says it’s an odd move, since the company has poured so much time and money into creating a network of charging stations. But founder Elon Musk says Tesla’s batteries were designed for a quick change, in case the swap out ever became the norm.
