The thing is you don't need heavy batteries if you can swap them every 100-150km or so.

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.
