Not to throw a rock in the puddle, but I don't think these lower prices are going to be around very long! As soon as the global economy picks up again oil is going to spike b/c competition between the economies of the rebounding nations is going to put pressure on supplies.Comment

Not much of a conspiracy nut either, but that DOES explain a lot....
The last three or four general elections I've noticed the price of gas dropped about a month before the election and went back up shortly after. I could be full of it (just ask LOML) but it does make one wonder...

Wow, what an outstanding article!
I have been thinking for some time about the battery swapping station. My visison is clearly limited compared to Agassi's. The complete network concept - power, billing, materials, charging stations, replacement centers, etc. - is brilliant.
It would seem that there need to be standards for batteries and network software: battery physical dimensions, cabling, interface to the network, billing . That could move the idea beyond regions and individual suppliers, into a fully mobile society served by many competitors.

And it looks like they are really working hard to make this work. Car makers already participating, three countries are signed up to work with the company and provide incentives, very exciting stuff. I certainly wish him luck, and look forward to eventually buying one of the cars.
