THE LONG RECHARGE TIME.....

I think that may be a solvable problem. Solid state batteries, if they ever make it to market, look like they would solve it.

Swapping battery packs in lieu of charging could also accomplish the same result.

The typical gas station dies about 800 gas transactions a day, some doing upwards of three times that. If you gave every batter 8 sqft, you would need to replace 2400 sqft of batteries and maybe 10,000 sqft, in some cases, every single day.

How many semis would you need every day to swap those batteries out?

Why are you pushing this nonsense? Battery costs are big time bucks with electric cars. Nobody with a functioning brain is going to allow a new car battery to be swapped out with a battery of unknown origin.
