I've solved the issue on charging EVs while in route.

[beagle9]

OK, so one of the major undesirable parts of owning an EV is having to charge it while in route right ??

What about this folks - Instead of having charging stations where one has to hook up a charger to the EV, and then charge it for a period of time before getting under way again, then I have to ask this question - Why was it done or designed in this way to begin with ?

Why couldn't charging stations be set up like drive through car washes ?

Hear me out !

You pull into the station, and you drive up to a money machine that one puts an exchange rate into the machine for a quick change purchase, and this one a driver does in order to drive out the other side ready to roll again in just a matter of time that is faster or equivalent to a fuel up in a gasoline vehicle.

The EV needs to be designed with the battery below the vehicle with a quick change set up that allows the battery to be dropped and replaced with a fully charged one that is quickly installed with a quick change robotic set up. All EVs should be built to be compatible with the change out stations in this way.

The drained battery is then placed on a charger that will recharge the battery to be placed back in the que for the next recharge entry.

Will it work ?

What about it Elon ?

Well, how many batteries are in an EV?

That was looked at by some companies, not sure why they didn't go that route.

My bad, China is already on it.

China has been trialling battery swaps for electric cars for years. Are they a viable solution to range anxiety?

one most of the time.

One right ? Not sure... If it is a compartment of batteries wired in series, then the compartment can still be dropped and the new refreshed compartment would be raised into place. The idea is "No charge needed". Just replace and go. The station would deal with the refresh of the compartment of batteries that were dropped.

Don't batteries have a life span? So someone could pull in with a new battery and leave with a 3 year old one?

Perhaps they wouldn't own the batteries they'd just be buying a charge.
