To be fair I would think that they would invent replaceable batteries...have some spare batteries on hand and swap them out like tires. Still a dumb idea though.
That’s why refill was in quotes. It’s not necessarily a dumb idea, it’s just 2 or 3 technological leaps premature. Nye isn’t realizing that the reason the electric car isn’t taking off in public is the same reason NASCAR won’t touch it, it’s just not ready for prime time. Guarantee when electric cars are ready some level of NASCAR will be racing them, and eventually they might even take over the big league. Heavy on the “eventually” though, it’s a move that’s decades out.
