Re:Hertz to Sell 20k EVs in Shift Back to Gas-Powered Cars by moconnor on Friday January 12, 2024 @01:52AM (#38964857)
I used to think this, but my car adds about 300km range in 20-30 mins on one of the many plentiful 300kW chargers in my area. A whole chain of gas stations now has 6-8 high-speed chargers on the forecourt. I plug in, take a break in the heated seat and call a friend, unplug and drive away.

On long trips stopping for 20-30 mins every few hours is ~normal anyway. Stretch my legs, use a restroom, have a drink, get back on the road.

Newer cars charge even faster. I don't think battery swapping is going to be important in the end.
