Well, Tesla has that whole change out the entire battery in a few minutes thing going. There's also research into superchargers and capacitors that work like batteries. There's also the change in behavior and expectations. People can adapt some of their driving habits to meet charging requirements. Also eventually the whole move to self-driving cars.

There are no production EVs to my knowledge that allow a battery swap. Renault tried it with the Fluence in Israel, and discontinued that approach.
The Tesla Model S supports it. They only built one station, though, and I don't know if it's still operating. It turned out not to be very popular.
