If, however, you could swap out the battery in 15 minutes, and that's reliable and ubiquitous, then you are really starting to make EVs attractive.

Agreed. Edward's point is well-taken, but my (limited) understanding is that we aren't likely to get down to what most people would consider a reasonable recharge time anytime soon. I don't think it matters how good that option is if we can't get there - but I'm not certain that's the case.
