The one thing these do do though as well is that you only 'lease' the battery, you dont own it. That means if it starts to misbehave, you can change it at no (extra) cost.
However, thats for £140 a month.
We need to be in a situation where we can swap batteries at a battery station, and the station itself check the condition of returned batteries, replacement being included in the 'swap-over fee'.

That's usually been the model John, and the Peugeot electric 207 NiMh used this leasing as an alternative to the £4000 renewal of the battery four yearly,though the batteries didn't last that long in practice.
Battery station swapping is surely an answer, but it can only happen with a standardised battery across various car makes, so it's decades away at least. Therefore, as I've said before, fuel cells will likely be in use first and solve all these problems.
