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
The battery weighs hundreds of kilos, is very large and is different in each model of electric car.
You’d need a car lift and a mechanic to unbolt it and put the charged one in, and that’s disregarding the fact you need to disconnect high voltage and cooling lines, so you’ll need to top off coolant in the car
But even if you manage that, you’d still need to charge them, keep track of which car model they go on and store them in some sort of warehouse because they are about the size of the wheelbase of the car
