They have gas stations in the middle of nowhere as long as there’s enough people with cars. Not saying swappable battery facilities aren’t more difficult than gas station infrastructure, but range matters a whole lot less when you can swap a battery in under five minutes.
I’ve never needed more than 25 minutes at a supercharger and that time is improving every year. We’ll probably be on par long before we could standardize swappables and get that infrastructure build out everywhere
And range just dropped by half. Going somewhere without a loader? Have fun charging way more often.
Would still be nice for road trips in the civilized world though.
