Cars that swap their batteries can also charge the battery. It's not exclusively swapping or charging, it's both swapping and charging.
This gives you the option to right size the battery for your driving. If in the normal case you're not driving very far then you can swap in a small battery and charge that at home. If you're going on a road trip then you can swap in a larger battery and get the benefit of that.
NIO supports multiple battery sizes: https://insideevs.com/news/537644/nio-4-million-battery-swaps/ https://insideevs.com/news/537644/nio-4-million-battery-swap...
And maybe a 150 kWh battery in future: https://insideevs.com/news/465188/nio-150-kwh-solid-state-batteries-2022/ https://insideevs.com/news/465188/nio-150-kwh-solid-state-ba...
