It'll be interesting to see the progress of Nio over the next few years. In China they have gone all in on battery swapping. Currently (mid 2022 youtube video) swaps take around 10 minutes. Nio claims gen 2 (or 3?) swap stations will cut that to about 3 minutes. In Europe (mainly Norway atm) Nio offers the choice of owning or leasing/swapping the battery, and an overwhelming majority of customers choose to lease. This in luxury cars. (Naturally they call it Baas, battery as a service.) 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nio_Inc https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nio_Inc.
