There is a vending type machine with the batteries. Mechanical arms change the battery. It takes yours, and puts new ones in place. You sign up for the service annually. Since you get different fully charged batteries each time, you do not need to buy new batteries every 8 years. No one mans the station it is self serve. This is already in practice for various vehicles such as scooters and segways in some countries.
