    Funny thing, that swap station primarily came about because the hydrogen hoax lobby tried to game the CARB credit system - based on how fast a clean vehicle could refuel. The hydrogen Lobby ended up with egg on their face when Musk demonstrated that the Tesla battery swap (tantamount to popping an oversized Makita cordless drill battery in & out) station could swap a pack 2 times as fast as it took to refuel a big gas car - much less, a hydrogen car.

    That demonstration was almost 5 years ago - but the only swap station (as stated above) suffered from lack of use, because most people needed the 30 or 40 minutes anyway after a long drive to take care of other business (stretch - eat - pee, etc.). Good thing that dude in the Audi wasn't stuck in a 15 minute Costco gas line.
