Back in the annals of EV history, battery swapping was put forward as a way of overcoming the issue around charging time. Tesla tested in over in the USA in 2013, demonstrating its ability to swap out a Model S battery in 90 seconds, but has since abandoned it. However, in China the idea is very much alive and kicking – and government backed – so is there a future for it elsewhere?
