Electric cars may be the future, but they're more expensive than their gas-guzzling counterparts and tougher to recharge (for now).

Swapping that many batteries in and out may not be cost-effective or time-saving, but at least it's a process that everyone can understand. Anyone who's old enough to drive a car at this point can still remember a time before rechargeable batteries were used in everything, right?
There's also a sweet "ribbon release auto-dump" feature that makes it easy to jettison the full load of batteries when it's time for replacements.
