What electric vehicles need is slide in battery packs, you pull into a service station and the robot slides out your battery and slides in a fully charged one. They charge you for the amphours used in the battery removed. Larger vehicles might get 2, 3, 4 or more batteries. Chris
Probably do better in fleet service.
Many fleets of port container tractors, airplane tow trucks, etc., do use that strategy.
The problem for private cars is each station would have to stock hundreds of models of batteries for each make and model.
Why don't cars standarize battery packs? Perhaps, but in their argument, each pack has to be shaped around their chassis for performance, space, and crash protection.
For instance, be really hard to share a pack between a Corvette and Nissan Altima, even though the cars are the same weight class.
