That is very interesting and their cars look appealing.

I think in the US, a company may have a better time selling the whole car including battery and still offering quick replacement when it comes time to upgrade.

I'm about to search more but do you happen to know if Nio is selling in the US?

Edit: Dang.. Not selling in the US yet. And with these new tariffs it's not looking good.

Yeah I agree, would be nice if the sold packs were as easy to replace as the leased ones are, but I doubt it.

I hope other makers come with a similar solution in the future. Being such a vital part and known to slowly degrade it should be easier to replace.
