Comment on Chinese EV maker BYD says new fast-charging system could be as quick as filling up a tank
SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoThey can drop the battery out from underneath….
It’s not like you are gonna man handle the battery yourself in and out of these dude.

That’s been suggested, the problem is that that requires additional infrastructure, either digging a pit for the battery to be lowered into via elevator, or raising the car in such a way they still have access to the pack.
Former is more likely but digging pits like at oil changes is not cheap either.
Mostly it’s a chicken-egg scenario: nobody will make the facilities until there are cars to use it… And the other way.

… where do you think the battery’s would be stored and charged…? Either on a structure above ground, so drive up on it, or underground and it would already be excavated…
