And actually\u00a0<\/span><i data-stringify-type=\"italic\">waiting<\/i><span>\u00a0while your car gets filled with juice? No thanks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>But what if you didn\u2019t have to charge your vehicle at all? What if there was another way? And what if that way was battery swap stations?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Way back in 2013,\u00a0<\/span>Tesla proposed the idea of a 90-second battery swap shop. <span>Two years later, Tesla quit the effort. It switched its strategy, focused on the Supercharger network, and declared that battery swapping was a dead-end.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>But is it really? Let\u2019s dig in.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_battery_swap_stations_work\"><\/span>How do battery swap stations work?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The idea is simple. You drive up to a car wash-sized station and you hand your vehicle over to the valet \u2014 or even stay inside. The workers and\/or the machines do the rest: bolts are unscrewed, the battery is removed, a new one is replaced, and everything is reassembled.<\/p>\n<p><span>That sounds like it should take forever, right? But based on the swap stations we have so far, the whole process only takes one to three minutes (more on that later).\u00a0That\u2019s a full \u2018charge\u2019 in less time than it takes to drink an espresso. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_pros\"><\/span>What are the pros?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Besides saving time, you\u2019d also save money.<span>\u00a0The cost of the car can be separated from the cost of the battery pack, making EVs more affordable for some drivers. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Plus, you wouldn\u2019t have to worry about battery degradation or warranties. And your vehicle could have a longer life if it\u2019s not attached to its battery. <span>Remember, it\u2019s the batteries that have an expiration date, not the car itself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Similarly, swapping makes it possible to <span>always have the latest battery tech installed in your vehicle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"And_the_cons\"><\/span>And the cons?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>For starters,<span> manufacturers would need to produce compatible batteries for all brands. This means that the battery pack would need a very specific universal design. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s more, we\u2019d need a greater number of batteries to power the same number of EVs. Not to mention the changes required for an entirely new infrastructure.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"China_in_the_lead\"><\/span>China in the lead<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Battery swap stations seem to be picking up pace in China, at least.<\/p>\n<p>In December, NIO <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nio.com\/news\/nio-achieves-annual-target-700-battery-swap-stations-ahead-schedule\">reached 700 stations<\/a> across the country, having provided 5.3 million swaps to NIO car owners.

well, China.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from an increasing number of companies that are betting on the tech, the Chinese government is also backing battery swapping.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s introduced <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.miit.gov.cn\/xwdt\/gxdt\/sjdt\/art\/2021\/art_c73f1ade7759456fa18586114b555238.html\">its own battery swapping program<\/a>, it has approved <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.samr.gov.cn\/xw\/zj\/202105\/t20210506_329188.html\">national EV battery swap standards<\/a>, and the State Grid (the <span>state-owned electric utility corporation) <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/autonews.gasgoo.com\/m\/Detail\/70018208.html\">has struck partnerships<\/a> with
