Some of the r/c planes I fly are electric. They have come a LONG ways since the first guy tried electric flight. They used to be a joke and now they are just too easy NOT to use.

Besides the max charge rate, they are best allowed to cool down before use for a time that works out to be about as long as charging. For any given plane I have three packs. One flying, one charging and one cooling down.

Buying a car "dry" and owning a share in a battery co-op would be the only way. And the charging stations would have to be able to test capacity (the charger I use for my r/c planes gives me a VERY good idea of the health of the battery pack) and stand by the pack they forklift into your car.
