- alexvoda 5y agoYes, it can be done. But as everyone here said, there are trade-offs. Most companies judged the tradeoffs to not be worth it at this point. This might change in the future. I would say that they are right, because right now battery tech is advancing and standardisation would impose a cost to progress. NIO doing their thing is not standardisation. But it does show that it can be done and that is important. In the future we should definitely push to get to the point where EV battery swaps are routine.
