That's just skewed statistic and playing with numbers. People don't invest £20,000 in a car just to do 8.5miles on 252 working days in a year. Last time I checked average mileage in uk was calculated around 12,000 a year, that's 6 folds your number, does that mean 60 battery swaps a year?They really aren't usles.
Again average commute is 8.5miles.
Average driver needs just 10 battery swaps a year.
There is no hole. Anywhere you want. It's not like we grow anything else in this country at the moment and have no space. Modify crops genetically to grow in even more places if required. Making that happen is more viable than hope that someone somewhere will come up with highly efficient, cheap, portable energy storage in the next 10 years. Especially considering we don't need to write off existing cars and technologies.Also where you going to grow these bio fuels? Oh there's a big whole in that plan.
Also read the post above with the tesla with a 300mile range.
$80,000+ limited run coupe is hardly an answer to commuter headaches.
