Forty quid and an hour wait for a 'fast' charge/!!!

I heard an engineer a while back say that they would have to have stations where you would actually have your batteries changed to speed things up as there would be unlikely to ever be a time when batteries would take less than an hour or two minimum to charge. Can you imagine all the manufacturers ever agreeing to standardise their batteries and make them easy to remove and replace? The station would also need to hold hundreds of charged batteries and constantly cycle them through a battery charger and be very careful to weed out duff ones and, of course, they would have to factor in the possibility of losses from cars coming in with all but dead batteries and sailing off into the sunset with brand new ones.

A vehicle that uses some form of fuel is the only real future of transport and electric vehicles are nothing but a scam.

Exactly my take. They need switching like gas bottles. Too heavy to manhandle but given standardised design (like a a VHS tape) easily enough switched with hydraulic or air lifts.

I reckon the bearings in that should dry out in a week or two

From their website FAQ



WILL THE BEARINGS LAST IN THE HOT, CARBON ENVIRONMENT?​

Tailgunner® exhaust uses the highest quality American shielded radial bearings in each model. They are designed to resist heat and corrosion. To ensure smooth, even rotation of your rotary cannon exhaust barrel assemblies it is occasionally necessary to lubricate the bearings using WD-40.

From which I infer they can’t be THAT durable! It’s a pretty hostile environment and if WD40 is the lubricant of choice they must get rattly then die!
