Electric vehicles that use replaceable and exchangeable batteries and systems are provided. One example system is for managing a supply of batteries for powering an electric vehicle. The system includes a battery carrier for holding a plurality of batteries. The battery carrier is connectable to a power source and the plurality of batteries are rechargeable and replaceable into and out of the battery carrier. The battery carrier includes slots for receiving the plurality of batteries and control systems for communicating over a network. The control systems are configured for identifying presence of batteries in the slots of the battery carrier and charge level of batteries present in the slots. The system further includes a server that communicates over the network with the control systems of the battery carrier. The server is part of a cloud system that manages access to user accounts. The user accounts are accessible via applications executed on user devices. The cloud system is configured to collect information regarding the presence of batteries in the slots of the battery carrier and information regarding the charge level of batteries present in the slots. The cloud system is configured to respond to a request from a user account to identify batteries that are available in the battery carrier based on information obtained by the server from the control systems of the battery carrier.
