A system of exchanging discharged batteries for electric vehicles comprises filling stations and vehicle depots with a stock of fully charged power packs. When a vehicle needs power, the filling station would remove the power pack and replace it with a freshly-charged power pack from stock. A power pack trolley to manoeuvre the new pack into place under the vehicle is also provided. All vehicles will be equipped with one or more identical 'standard' power packs, with all vehicles having the same physical power pack mountings and electrical connections.
