Nio is betting the shop on his but the reality is almost all EV owners home charge only and a lot of them just granny charge overnight. Most cars spend their life almost entirely idle. Charge speed is mostly a perceived barrier to ownership not a real issue
There are cases for battery swap - taxis, heavy machinery with high utilisation etc but not mainstream cars or trucks
To actual EV users it's just not a problem
