$10,000 rebate for the 2-Year Plan?
I am not sure if there will really be a “rebate” but the notion of building a company around the same type of love affair people all over the world have with their phones is very clever indeed. Americans have had this affair with their cars for decades but the mobile phone is the object people all over the world love. If the electric car can be introduced to consumers the same way a phone plan is initiated then the barrier to entry will be minimal and attractive.
This is an innovative piece and with the backing they have it is beyond “could happen” and in the realm of happening. This will not happen in the good old USA at first but other countries will adopt this and like the mobile phones, we will get a version that barely resembles the orginal vision because of all the companies who had to get their sticky fingers in the mix.
Time will tell and by the time the warranty is up on the Prius, I can get one of these and upgrade the batter via thrid-party on the Toyota. Petrol? What petrol?
