Default Electric cars still a bit ****e

Incidentally what is the purpose behind buying a car and renting a battery?
Does that mean you can actually rent several batteries and leave one at home
while driving on the other one?
Or do they expect them to pack up so early they need to keep renewing them,
a bit like 1970s Colour TVs?

That could cause chaos if there were a major overnight power cut in an
area with high electric car usage. Lots of people failing to get to work,
school, etc.
