The answer is massive government support. The cost of those stations has to be insane...imagine the inventory holding cost of those batteries

Imagine the cost of stations everywhere that would have tanker-trucks deliver fluid that you'd put in cars

This is not comparable.

The fuel is spent and sold. Gas stations usually only have a few days supply of inventory.

This is like holding engines in inventory to swap without notice on the spot. But in this case the engines cost $10k+.

The fee to swap is about $12...so you have to swap each battery about 800 times to break even. See how you're wrong yet?

Well yeah but the comparison here should be against a typical BEV. ICE cars are already being phased out regardless.
