China's battery-swapping e-trucks offered as fix for range anxiety

Original: Could China's battery-swapping e-trucks be the answer to EV range anxiety

China is expanding battery-swapping technology for electric heavy trucks, with companies like CATL building swap stations that let drivers replace a depleted battery in minutes instead of waiting to charge. Supporters say the approach could resolve range and charging-time concerns for freight, a segment where electrification has lagged. Observers are debating whether the model is practical and economical outside China.

Why now: Battery swapping is being discussed as a potential solution to the charging-time limits holding back electric freight transport.
