Seems like upgrade from 70 kWh to 84 kWh i possible to ( and hopefully even better upgrades in Your car in the future)

I think it would be nice if Toyota comes up with something similar.

Are these not more beneficial to a pure electric vehicle - so not so practical for a Toyota. Would you really want to pay 25 dollars (approx £22) to swap out a Battery that only going to do 30 miles or so, that makes it very expensive per mile.

I meant that i hope that Toyota maybe will come up with a Toyota hight quality pure electric vehicle and I thought that a 70 kWh Battery would make the car go at least some 500 km ( 310 miles I think)

The Chinese vehicle maker Nio does such a vehicle that will go 300+ miles, but it cost about £63,000 (if my quick and rough calculation is near).  In the short term at least getting 300+ miles is going to cost a lot, Nissan Leaf 40kwh car doing 180 miles is costing well over £30k for a top model.

Thank for Your commitment.

 

I thougt the idea to be able to swap/upgrade Battery when Battery tecnology develops was good.

I'm intrested in that issue
