This already exists.

Look up Nio. They already have fully automatic battery swapping stations for cars leasing the pack. You literally swap the whole pack instead of charging when it's empty.

Takes less than 10 minutes

Nio

Ugh, looks like they designed their door handles just like Tesla did. Are EVs in general adopting that design standard? Cuz thanks I hate it.

Luckily no, not all do.

We specifically chose a car with normal handles because ice/snow is a bitch with the motorized/flush ones

That is very interesting and their cars look appealing.

I think in the US, a company may have a better time selling the whole car including battery and still offering quick replacement when it comes time to upgrade.

I'm about to search more but do you happen to know if Nio is selling in the US?

Edit: Dang.. Not selling in the US yet. And with these new tariffs it's not looking good.
