I don’t really care where the company hails from but I like NIO’s approach to fast-swappable batteries at service stations over long wait times at charging stations. Wait an hour to recharge or wait 15 minutes for a tech to slap in a fully charged battery, think I’ll grab a drink and snack and by the time I’m done buying that, they’re likely done swapping my battery. They’re already doing it in China and the NIOs are selling well there
An hour?? You lot must have proper rubbish infrastructure. Longest I've "waited" was 24 minutes. I in fact had to nip back and move my car as after a pit stop at the toilet and waiting to get a drink and snack, the car was almost full and my other passengers still weren't back.
That’s great if you can get a supercharger free when you get there and you’re filling from depleted. Pretty much all the manufacturers state 45 minutes zero to full on a supercharger, and in my city at least the super chargers are few and far between and there’s generally a wait for them since they’re somewhat rare. They shouldn’t be rare but I live in the Midwest and there is next to no government appetite for moving away from fossil fuels
