Nio will be releasing a 150 kWh solid state battery pack that fits in the same spot as their current 70 kWh and 100 kWh packs because it is that much more compact.

Nio also has performed over 500,000 battery swaps. @Dadhawk ...maybe that would fit your needs. Just as a reminder, while hydrogen would work in a society that had an abundance of extra energy like if we had more solar than needed or an excess of energy from fusion, it is much less efficient from source to road. As you can see from this graph, for every 100 kW of energy that we start with, we only get to use a small fraction of that with hydrogen, but get to use 3x that with EVs. The major advantage with hydrogen is refueling times, which is only currently an advantage, and the batteries are smaller, which means we would use less materials.
