Battery swaps are real. Look up Nio. Most recent video I have seen shows customer car in Norway getting swap. Program is still very much in beta mode. Scaling up the swap infrastructure for use in US would never be viable. By time it was ready for prime time, solid state batteries will make swaps unnecessary. The fact that swaps are even being considered is proof current battery tech is not ideal and the main aspect holding back EV's.
