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
Fundamentally, it could be designed the way you say. However, newer EV models are moving to the ‘skateboard’ platform where the battery is an integral and structural part of the car frame. At this point you’d have to basically make a car body that easily unbolts from the frame which would include the tires, brakes, etc. and it’s no longer practical.
