Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

Correct. Which also has nothing at all to do with my comment. Try and focus.

If you focused yourself, you'd understand that battery swapping is not more practical than home charging.

Only if you own a house. Overnight charging at an apartment is a shit show 95% of the time.

I agree with you that all houses should be charging an EV or two.

If you live in an apartment, talk to your landlord. (If you don't, it isn't really your problem is it ...)

Facts are in. Takes 3 minutes to swap out an empty battery with a fully charged one.

Don't worry about EV batteries. Worry about why you don't know about automated battery swapping.

There's nothing to worry about. We EV users know about swapping and we prefer overnight home charging, by far.

How many EV owners in USA determined that preference after trying battery swapping?

Fyi you might want to read the posted article again.
