This method could be very simple if implimented with some for thought and of course battery standards could be used as well like maybe someone doing mostly local driving could use a less efficient battery at a slightly reduced cost not much different between regular and premium. As far as cars go I think maybe a small tow behind tank and generator could be used on long trips but that is another solution. Again I think we are seeing the future to some degree if the benefits warrent it. Schneegz

A scooter may take only one section. A motorcycle may take four. A car might take twelve. The size of each section would have to be standardized, and so would the receiver, but the manufacturer could choose to arrange the sections in any conceivable permutation, even spreading sections throughout the vehicle, for better packaging and weight distribution. It doesn't have to be a one-size-fits-all battery. Here's a thought: would a sectional, standardized battery pack lead to the return of the service station (as opposed to the self-service station)?

Never seen anything electric but Toyota Hybrids here. Where does your information come from? @Kirill:
