– EV Battery Charging

585 views

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?

Ev batteries are huge, and connected with high voltage cables and coolant tubes. It’s going to take as much time as changing the oil and rotating the tires. In that much time you can 75% charge a Tesla at a supercharger. Add in the time to drive to someplace with battery packs that cost $10k, which won’t be everywhere like gas stations or lube spots, think dealerships, and charging is quicker.
