Reply to comment by crookedriverguy in ELI5 why do electric vehicles have one big battery that's hard to replace once it's expired, rather than lots of smaller ones that could be swapped out based on need (to trade off range/power/weight)? by ginonofalg

That's making a huuuuuuuge presumption about logistics. It would be very expensive to roll out on a scale that would make adoption reasonable.

Tesla Superchargers are barely that widespread and that's a much lower impact solution than swapping our hundreds of pounds of battery cell, and has alternate options like charging at home.
