Forget About Quick Charging, Tom Scott Shows How Automatic Battery Swaps Are The Future Of EVs
Instead of trying to move electricity as fast as possible into your battery, the simpler solution is to just change out the battery entirely.

    The idea sounds great. But..... The problem is the value of the battery. A new battery is worth up to $20,0000. One that is nearly worn out is almost nothing. You stop in for a $45 charge and get a new $20,000 battery! But who pays? Does your credit card (with very high interest) just take a huge hit? A cute idea, but it could work for only the richest of the rich.

    FORGET rechargeable batteries all together.
    Develop the technology for the use of HYDROGEN FUEL CELLS instead.
    The byproduct.........is WATER !!
