From Martin van Raay, Culemborg, The Netherlands
Regarding Sue Cannon’s idea of quick-change batteries to get electric vehicles “refuelled” rapidly: for modern cars, but abandoned it, though the company now appears to be entertaining the idea again. has plans to use swappable batteries(Letters, 17/24 December 2022).
The problem with this idea is that no single car maker can build swapping stations globally. They would have to cooperate, which would mean standardisation in chassis design between firms. I don’t see that happening.
