No, reality will stop it long before that.
In addition to the fact that I'm not going to be happy swapping my brand new car's battery for a replacement that is 9 years old and almost at the end of its life.
Nor is a cockamamie idea going to fly because you refuse to see the negatives and say it is possible.
There is no standardization on EV battery design they are VERY customized and extremely complex.
Thats because they arent restricted by a US regulation that requires it. Once infrastructure is put in place, those regulations will go into effect.
Designing for interchangeability in anything is very expensive. And the common batteries would potentially force redesigns into the vehicles themselves. It's a way bigger deal than a simple two terminal 12 Volt Battery.
you are the one equating swapping a car battery pack like it's a power tool
they are not ******* plug and play......
they are nowhere close to the same so who's the not bright one here....
A Tesla battery pack typically weighs between 1,000 and 1,800 pounds depending on the specific model and its range.
this is NOT a car battery pack.....

The Realistic Timeline (3–13 Hours)
Even though the physical unbolting might go fast, Tesla Service Centers and specialists generally quote 3 to 13 hours of labor for a full replacement. Here is what eats up that time:
Any EV uses coolant around the battery for your heat source
- Coolant Management: The battery is connected to a complex liquid cooling system. You have to drain the glycol-based coolant before removal and, more importantly, vacuum-fill and bleed the air out of the new pack after installation. If air bubbles remain, the battery can overheat.
- High-Voltage Safety: Technicians must follow a strict "Lockout-Tagout" procedure, removing the First Responder Loop and verifying the system is de-energized before touching the main connectors.
- Software Pairing & Calibration: The car won't just "recognize" a new pack immediately. It requires a computer (Tesla's "Toolbox" software) to pair the new Battery Management System (BMS) with the car's drive unit and run a series of thermal and electrical self-tests.
- Interior Disassembly (Model Y/Cybertruck): In newer structural packs, the seats and carpet are actually bolted directly to the top of the battery. You have to gut a large portion of the interior just to reach the mounting points.
swapping a battery pack is equal to replacing and ICE motor, it's not a minute...it's many hours
Seems to work for them "Surrons" and all the knockoff ones too.
LOL, maybe caveman has a point--even if extreme. Can you imagine cars with batteries like power tools. Sure, just plug a Bosch battery into a DeWalt or Miluakee or Ryobi.Seems to work for them "Surrons" and all the knockoff ones too.
The battery is not small, though.
It's huge. Idk what voltage, but they are 50Ah.
I encountered a kid that had one and we got to talking. I know my shit.
I don't even want a bike that weighs as much as that battery. Taleria or something like that?
And then there's the frame and wheels and everything on top of all all that.
That's the uhh..maximum efficiency of human propulsion by electric there is, IMO.
Up to a small/medium sized light personal vehicle.
I'll pull a number out my ass and say up to about 550 lbs. Plus rider.
You could probably E-do like up to a GPZ 950. But it won't get 50 mpg.
Not sure what the range will be. Not as far as a gas-powered inline 4 cylinder engine.
It would be nice if they were universal and not a pipedream.
That is one of the problems--but undoubtedly would transfer to vehicles as well. I agree, it is another pipedream.
boils down to that, too many unique configurations, nobody is going to sit down from the big auto makers and agree
It could be. Unlikely to happen, though.
You and some others have lost the point of the thread.
not really, trying to say you can just swap a battery in and out quickly like a cordless drill is the whole point
It could be able to be done in about a minute.
