We really do need something else.
That is why I think having a standard battery pack that is easily located on every vehicle would solve the problem. But I know that there are a lot of obstacles that will not all ow this to happen..
Pull up to the battery pack station, old battery pack out, new battery pack in, and you are on your way in the time to fill you tank with gasoline.

"Inspected by a cloud-based battery management system."
What's not to like?
The CCP will make sure there is no unauthorized privacy invading hardware/software being attached to the battery that’s swapped into your vehicle.

Interesting video, by the way. 3-5 minutes to swap a battery out is impressive.
However, I see capacity as a big problem. These batteries are large and bulky. The narrator says that the Norwegian stations hold 13 battery packs. That's not a lot. I'll bet the average gas station sees that many visits in half an hour.

At the end of the day, whether charging at home, at a charging station or swapping out for a charged battery pack, the electricity for the batteries has to come from somewhere. Solar and wind ain't gonna do it.
BTW, anybody seen Greta, lately?
Or has the useful idiot outlived her usefulness, as Europeans contemplate a cold, dark winter?

Seen on FB:
A quick search shows that that might be an inflated price.
Might.

That's horrible.
You could have a brand new crate motor put in for seven or eight grand.
