The government wants affordable electric cars,

not electric cars at any cost.

Battery Swap robots are complex, have many moving parts that need regular maintenance and are expensive to build and maintain, and they eventually wear out to the extent they are too expensive to repair so they also need eventual replacement.

Quick-charge stations are cheap to build as they don't have to be much more than a post and cable, some simple electronics, and a credit card reader. Also, if you would do a little study, you would find out that there are a lot of technical advances being made in quick-charge battery designs so that in the not too distant future the batteries could be charged to full capacity in only a few minutes.
