PALO ALTO, Ca. - Somewhere between Los Angeles and San Francisco, Tesla is planning to bring its first battery swapping station online, reports SlashGear.com, which will offer drivers of the Model S a 90-second way to “refuel” their vehicle.

“First demonstrated in June 2013, the battery exchange system eschews even the rapid charging of Tesla's Supercharger network in favor of a wholesale exchange of the batteries themselves,” write the news source. “The process would be fully automatic, too, meaning the driver won't even need to step out of the car in order to replenish their charge levels. … Instead, robotic systems drop the existing battery pack out from underneath the EV, and then replace it with a fully charged version.”

Tesla also unveiled the world’s first dual electric motor production car and announced that new safety and autopilot hardware is standard on every new Model S.
