Gogoro is a taiwanese company that makes scooters where the battery is a power pack that you can just replace in a few seconds[1].
They're apparently expanding into more countries. I really like the concept of these things. It should be possible to make drivein charging stations for cars that do the same. But obviously you wouldn't be able to do that manually and designing such a system is a lot more expensive.
Such a smart solution, I hope they go global with it!
I've been thinking of a similar solution for e-bikes and electric scooters (like Bird and Lime for example). Swapping a battery would be SO MUCH BETTER than having to fully recharge your own battery.
If I had to make a prediction for 50 years in the future, I'd guess that Tesla and others would study a way to hot-swap batteries in the car at the "e-Station" in a couple minutes instead of waiting for your own battery to recharge.
