together and make a standard easily replaceable battery pack. Like something that can be replaced quickly..like if they are dead at a fueling station.
They say they can't do it; I say that's BS. The batteries in that, the Tesla and the GMC/Hummer and long, flat rectangles. How much easier does it get?

They have battery swap stations where you can just pull up and someone will take out your old battery and put in new one so no waiting to charge at a station.

Weird that the big 3 state it can't be done.

I remember in like 1985 when the Ford prez said they'd never be able to release a 4 cam,32 valve V8, and that it just didn't make sense to do so.
I guess it made sense about 3 years later year when Lexus put one in their LX400 and sold the chit out of it. That engine was used for about 23 years after that. It only took Ford about another 8 years to be able to do it in like 1993.
I guess when Ford introduces a quick change battery pack 5 years from now, it will be like science was reinvented.

https://www.lowtechmagazine.com/overview-of-early-electric-cars.html Overview of early electric cars (1895-1925) One hundred years ago electric cars were a common sight on city streets in Europe and the United States. Many of them had a range comparable to that of today's EV's. Below is an overview of early electrics and their specifications, put together from sales catalogs and books. 1907 Catalog (various manufacturers) Source: "An illustrated directory of the specifications of all domestic and foreign motor-cars and motor business wagons gasoline, steam, and electric sold in this country", New York, 1907.
