The only way EVs would have ever worked is if the batteries were removable and interchangeable in short periods of time between makes

That was the way I thought it was going to work - sort of like propane tank exchanges. Hard to see how to make it work. Maybe if we could come up with a fuel source that could be put into a vehicle in a matter of minutes, and used in any year or model vehicle. I may be crazy, but I'm sure we could think of something ......

Well, my wife’s car goes about 500 miles on a tank of gas (roughly 17 gallons). I’d say just about anyone would be hard pressed to find an EV that can drive 500 miles, stop for 10 minutes to refuel and do it all over again in the dead of winter, or any time for that matter.

“sort of like propane tank exchanges”
That’s what I was thinking as well.

“Maybe if we could come up with a fuel source that could be put into a vehicle in a matter of minutes, and used in any year or model vehicle”

That’s crazy talk! LOL!
