The fact that you put a price of $50k on an electric vehicle shows you don't understand the typical American budget. Most people aren't looking for a $50k car. Only debt backs cars at $50k for most Americans. Bring it down to 20k for the car and let someone else worry about the battery pack. China's gonna eat our lunch while we're trying to figure out charging rates and plugs. "But I take good care of my battery and don't abuse it." With swap stations, who cares? Swap stations would figure out if the batteries were bad or good or what capacity they have or how many cells are dead and would manage their batteries. If 300 out of 10000 individual cells are losing their capacity due to charging, you can replace them. Once they're replaced, the pack is like new. Once every so often the tech will improve and the design and capacity and energy density of the cells will improve. Why should I have to buy a whole new EV car if my battery goes bad?
