  I was just thinking the other day why we don’t have standardized EV batteries with a swap process for instant refueling. It would open up so many use cases, particularly for those who can’t have something like that charge overnight.

    they exist for electric scooters in some regions, but car manufacturers really hate each other. it’s possible but unlikely. it takes them forever to even offer a charging port adapter.

    I would love more standardized batteries in everyday tech too. We need to standardized another shape or two for phones and other small tech. Finding good brands’ bike lights with AA or AAA batteries, for example, impossible anymore.

      I’m shocked to learn that they are licensing the tech to competitors instead of holding everything in the walled garden

    Nio is one company that does just that in China, i’d assume swapping battery is expensive though so the use case is still limited.
