Overview:
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.

Why don't you swap your smartphone battery each day?
Oh, because it charges overnight so you don't have too?
Wouldn't it be great if you could charge an EV overnight too!!!
Because we were not talking about my phone.
What you've been doing every day so far doesn't depend on what we've been saying here on Lemmy this week.
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 ...)
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.
I sell smartphones with a swappable battery. I'll take your order anytime.
Nope.
Can I help you?
Nope.
