Batteries are heavy. A lot of EVs have ~1000 lbs of batteries in them.
A few EV companies have done battery swapping stations, where you drive on top of the battery changer, and it takes your old battery, and lifts 1000 lbs of battery into the car. This has an overall advantage in that the batteries can be slow-charged, while providing even faster refueling times than fast charging.

These things are cool too, and better for urban areas since they take up less space.
