Quick fit EV power pack

Standard quick fit battery for all vehicles a smaller quick fit for town use (lighter weight), mixed sizes for longer range.

Battery not purchased with vehicle, lower purchase costs more appealing

Battery supplied from a central system as a fully charged power pack which you charge or exchange as needed. Built in metering extended for energy payments (payments include network distribution, energy costs, and a return of investment for the pack manufacture) similar to mobile phone top ups it releases the paid amount from the installed power pack activated by the authorised user this can allow for small top ups and allow your prepaid energy use in other vehicles, the same tech could help you share power credits with friends.
