Why can’t we keep battery stock at charging stations and replace the batteries in the car instead of waiting for the battery to charge? It would be much faster and many electric bikes and skateboards have this opportunity. I can understand that the current structure of the car might not allow but why is it not possible or if it is possible what is the issue being faced?
In: Engineering
We could, but we don’t. Probably to ensure the battery is safe and safely attached. Another reason might be the fact that most consumers of electric vehicles don’t need such feature. If you are someone needs to drive way more than a full charge and speed charging, you probably are going to use a gasoline car.
But that doesn’t mean that we don’t do it all. Some warehouse vehicles have batteries that can be switched. Because in those environments it can be so busy that you can’t afford to leave a machine to recharge.
