I wish I’d thought of it. It’s so obvious.

One of the greatest mental barriers to buying an all-electric car is what is known as “range anxiety”.

When the battery runs down, it can take anything up to eight hours to re-charge it. So you’re stuck.

The Renault Fluence ZE (zero emissions) has a removable battery which can be swapped for one that has been recharged.

For anyone who cooks with gas from a cylinder of butane in the kitchen, it is a familiar principle. When the gas is running down, you do not wait to fill it up – you change it for a full one.
