A major problem for the change from fossil fuels to electric is the availability of charging points, and the time it takes to fully charge a battery.
Possible solution:
Instead of charging stations there should be swapping stations for batteries. This means of course that batteries will have to be standardized and modular. Similar to existing 'gas stations' for liquid fuels there should only be a maximum of say 3 different kinds/sizes of battery available for any vehicle.
This way, there would be no more wait at the station than before with fossil fuels, and also stations could make use of nighttime electric energy for recharging, acting as energy storage facilities.
Another problem will be the state of wear of any battery module. As an idea, there could be an indicator for the battery state/age on each module, and stations would sell older modules cheaper, and top quality batteries at a premium.
Would that work??
