Do you know what is done to the bad batteries you take out of your gasoline car?

I'm curious if you do? I don't think you do know..

I've lost so much patience with your convoluted arguments, I'm just wondering where you are even going with this.

Dang Wilbur, you really like arguing. What was that phrase? Something about fighting on the Internet is like wrestling a Wilbur in his mud pen?

No cognitive abilities. May have had a brain injury….
You argue that battery swap out won't reduce your battery percentage. Well a used bad battery is picked up by tge very people that sell the battery. At that point they check the outside for damage. They clean it up. They clean out the acid that's inside. Then chemically hit rhe fins inside with a cleaner.xthey refill the battwey with acid. If it isn't putting out somewhere near the amps. They will super charge the battery. It helps knock of tge excess build up left on the fins. At that point they relabel it, and send it out to the store as new.. That new / somewhat new battery is not near the life span of a newly built one.. So there will be battery percentage loss..

There are no used bad batteries in circulation.
None of the process you are describing is involved at all.
These are electric cars. These are not large regular batteries for cars.
Holy cow.

They literally remove the car-sized battery. It is stored at the swap station. It is charged up. And it is put in the rotation to be put into a car that pulls into the station later.
The battery is not being recycled, treated, changed, or having any work done to it at all. The battery is simply removed, charged, and put back into another identical vehicle. Good grief.

Is anyone sure that the "new" battery isn't the one which was removed ?

Yes, because the one that is removed is the dead one. The one put in is a charged one.
It's the equivalent of having your gas tank removed at the gas station and a new gas tank, which is full of gas, installed.
You know it's new because you show battery life. The next guy in line might get the one that came out of your car.
New just means freshly charged. Not an actual new battery. You're swapping dead ones for charged ones, and charging the dead ones. I don't understand these questions. Everyone here already does this with power tools or other things. Remove a battery and charge it. Put another battery in. What's the confusion?

It works very well in China. That's why NIO does it.
It doesn't work anywhere else. That's why it's not done anywhere else.
Understand?
Chinese fire drills?

Everyone in the car switches seats at a stoplight before it turns green. All doors open.
At least that's what it was for us.
Oh I know what they are. You said "it" works very well in China. Thus my reply.
