Looking at the data, a build-out pace of over 200 sites a month is remarkable. Technically speaking, the biggest advantage of battery-swap systems is bypassing the charging-time barrier. From a battery standpoint, standardization and collection networks are the key. Speaking in numbers rather than sentiment, China's electrification is advancing rapidly from the infrastructure side.

Battery swapping eliminates charging wait times, I think it's the realistic answer for EVs.

It's a realistic solution precisely because it's China, and standardization is really the key at the end of the day.
