I just haven't seen many plans yet for how the charging infrastructure is going to scale up when EVs become more prolific on the road. Right now it would be suffereable, but I don't know if you're 3rd in line to charge your car, how that's going to look.

Swapping cars would kind of suck if you're fully loaded. Perhaps battery swapping could be the answer? Having secondary, easily swappable batter[ies] could really speed up the process and keep the vehicle aligned with bladder capacities (would still get a few minutes of main charge). Being able to carry a 'spare' battery would also help facilitate leaving an EV at a trailhead for a day of ski touring, etc.
I don't know anything about wireless charging, but could the answer lie in 'activating' major roadways?
