I was watching an interview of the MD on TV18 (Hero MotoCorp MD & CEO Pawan Munjal On The Firm's EV Plans & Much More | Exclusive Interview - YouTube)
Got me thinking about the battery swapping approach.
Apart from these considerations, there’s also the aspect of how people treat their things vs those that belong to everyone. Think of Yulu (I know the example is not 1-1 match, but I feel the essence of the point still holds). The condition of Yulu bikes has significantly deteriorated. Each person has their own way of handling things (immaterial of how menial or complicated the task may be). Probably in countries where the approach to public/collective property is much more disciplined, such things may work (Japan, Taiwan, etc.). I feel it may be difficult in other places.
Any views on the EV developments?
edit: Hero’s first launch will be a fixed battery using charging stations.
