So no. Tesla is 50% of all EV's sold. So, yes. Yes but we weren’t discussing “choosing a brand”, That's the point! You presented "swap a new battery" as obvious to the the OP when it's not obvious. You have to first pick a brand that allows that. Model Y was first with structural battery but others like Volvo and BMW are coming soon. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [+] helenslunch@feddit.nl 1 point 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago* (2 children) Right so then “EVs”= “Tesla”?
