Why wasn’t battery swapping used with EVs from the outset? Does anybody know? It seems like a no-brainer, especially due to it’s forward compatibility with newer battery tech etc.
Good question. Complexities I can think of is the massive power that needs to flow between battery and motor requires a very big plug that needs to be removed and placed again 2 often. And that the cooling design of the battery is in the way of the modularity of the battery which makes it more complex to design
