Why quick charge instead of just doing a battery swap?

  Electric car batteries are large. It is hard to remove them without also taking apart a big part of the car at the same time

    You'd do the swap using machinery, not by hand.

      You're right, but can you imagine how many problems could be introduced by changing batteries in an underground mine? A brand new equipment takes a single shift to gain a nice coat of mud from head to toe. I don't think it's impossible but there are a lot of challenges with regards to battery swapping that would need to be addressed before this becomes feasible for this industry.

        Why would you change it underground? You'd schedule the changes in a controlled environment. Or is this naive?
