Why don’t existing gas stations provide batteries that can be switched out in a minute or two? That infrastructure already exists.

On a cross country trip the low battery could be switched for a fully charged battery at another Exxon or Sinclair station.

Would it be possible for the car manufacturers to design a battery that is light enough and accessible enough for a little old grandma to manage?

I think tucker tried that with engine repairs. They went out of business although their auto technology was superior.

Swapping batteries is infeasible. You’re exchanging >$10,000 boxes of unknown prior possession.

The battery that powers a car isn’t like the one that starts your car and can be changed out at the Sears Automotive Center.
