Why not have "exchange stations" where you could "fill up" your EV with fresh batteries? (Like what you do with your propane tank for your BBQ grill now) Why would electricity stations have to sell liquid batteries?

There were 200 major oil deposit finds this year alone (over 1 trillion barrels) and the earth is in a cooling period. Christopher, what answer are we looking for?

By serious I don't mean some 3 wheeler by a fly-by-night manufacturer that doesn't meet any vehicle safety standards. As far as an e-MC, most likely never, as the aural and mechanical aspects of an ICE are a large part of the pleasure in riding. In the past I've looked at scooters for around town and decided they offer nothing over a bicycle and the bike also gives me some exercise.
