Could be possible with the new LFP batteries Tesla started using, they are very cheap and easy to produce as they are mostly just a block of iron.
The issue as you pointed out is that range will be very impacted. This is bad for adoption as 90% of charging is done at home anyways.

Bro you are ignoring the true issue here: EV companies are insanely battery constrained. For this to work you would need to produce 10x more batteries than cars as you need to have a shitton available at each swapping station
It’s just not possible in a battery constrained environment

Space mining will boom on Mars not Earth. Mars is way closer to the asteroid belt, needs resources like water to make oceans and can house a space elevator.
Bombarding Mars with ice asteroids creates lakes and also warms up the planet

Meh we have current tech to supply humanities energy needs 1000x over, we should look for improvements in production and scalability
