    Thanks for sharing the news. As per Xbhp policy, we will not be able to discuss 4 wheeler or 3 wheeler news.

    With reference to 2 wheeler world, the lessons we can take from this advert is (which is why I allow this topic to be visible):-

    1. Swappable battery, despite its issues can be practical,
    2. We can gradually remove tensions related to travel range, if Bajaj, TVS, Hero, etc. join together to create a common standard and framework of swappable batteries, for example, they can have a huge market of swappable batteries where they can be allowed to swap battery anywhere, just like refuelling.
    3. Battery age has to be monitored, and every user's contribution to the same should be there too, which means the system should be unhackable.

    But anyhow, these are future's debates, not quite a present world topic.
