Samsung has been shipping its solid-state battery with high energy density to electric vehicle makers, but warns that it will first land in more expensive models. It is also ready to deliver other promising battery technologies.

    An easy way to get around this would be replaceable batteries. Like how mobile phones used to work.

    Running low? Pop to the nearest charging station and swap your battery for a fully charged one. Or bring a spare. I’ve seen a video of it being done for scooters, don’t see why it can’t be scaled up for cars

      Been thinking about that since EV were just getting started. Of course it means you’d need to create new standards, get all the manufacturers and gas stations to use it, etc. But I really don’t see why it couldn’t work that way, park the car over the system, empty battery comes off and full battery goes in, pay a monthly subscription or something.
