Nio’s whole gimmick here is delightfully bold: don’t wait around charging—just replace the entire battery like a cartridge. I mention them because they’ve actually built the hardware and the network to make that idea real, not just a concept render. Whether it scales everywhere is another question, but it’s a fascinating alternative to the usual EV story.
