Method for charging electric vehicles that addresses issues with battery charging infrastructures. The method involves standardizing batteries for electric vehicles, enabling faster and more efficient charging. The standardization step involves creating a common battery specification for all EVs. This allows using interchangeable standard batteries at charging stations instead of charging the vehicle's specific battery. When an EV needs charging, it locates a charging station over the internet, requests a standard battery swap, and the station provides a charged battery. The discharged battery is recovered. This allows quicker charging as a fresh battery is supplied, reduces charging infrastructure needs, and improves battery life by avoiding deep discharges. The EV pays for the electricity consumed in the standard battery.
