And when you need twice the pack like a GMC Hummer EV? Just not as easy as you are imagining. Swapping a 2,000 pound battery? Would take far longer than a fast charge.

Remember, just because you can doesn’t mean you should.

It could be done but just isn’t practical.

Oh and you don’t know the pain of designing a car around a standard battery pack.
electric forklifts carry batteries that weigh 5,000 pounds.takes 5 minutes and a hoist to change them.and they generally last 10 hours on a full charge.
