Why dont road cars and racing cars use detachable batteries that can be removed and then just a new one just slotted into its place within a few seconds? I can appreciate they would be very heavy, we have to remove battery units from our server room UPS and its takes two of us to lift them, however the principle is the same, and also it shares more in common with having to re-fuel in a "current" car. Why can't you pull into a "Charge Station", have your battery slotted out, then have another put into your car and then off you go, 2 min and you are done, just like a normal fuel stop today?
