Tesla Battery Swapping Station
To help range anxiety, Tesla showed off an innovative battery swapping system back in 2013 that would switch out a Tesla’s entire battery pack and replace it with a fully charged unit, allowing Tesla owners to completely recharge their EVs in a matter of minutes.
Unfortunately, while the demo was quite impressive, it was ultimately somewhat impractical, with Tesla opting to simply increase charging speeds via its network of Superchargers than try to take on the challenge of moving and servicing thousands or millions of batteries located at charging stations throughout the country.
