Chinese e-car provider NIO relies on replaceable batteries
In fact, this change topic also seems to make perfect sense for electric cars. Instead of driving to a charging station and charging between a few minutes and half an hour, the NIO E-Car automatically changes the batteries within 3 minutes. The driver of the NIO e-car steers his car into a kind of carport over a pit, similar to a lifting platform - then a robot fully automatically removes the battery from the underbody of the vehicle and replaces it with a charged one.
