150km of range usually requires about 200kg of lithium ion batteries. More for larger vehicles.

What's wrong with charging? At 350KW you can get 150km of range in 5 minutes.

Not if your car is a small one ala Fiat 500E. And bigger cars should not exist.

The Fiat 500e's battery weighs 295kg.

With a range of 320km. Cut it in half and it becomes very manageable. Partition it and you can replace it without heavy duty tools.
