For every small trip or for small courses in the city.
The high density battery would provide a big range extension, when needed, at a lower weight, without being worn out by constant loading cycles (as it has a worse durability than the LFP).
Again, that's only my subjective interpretation.

Why would they use one battery to charge the other? Is that just for the POC or is there a different issue with these batteries preventing them from being directly used?
