Do you know where I can read more about the battery swapping program? I knew china had some sort of program for EVs but this is news to me.

These[1] are the "official" ones which are actually just in the midst of rollout.
The informal ones don't seem to have much web presence, IIRC they were mostly setup in and around the e-bike shops in lower Manhattan and Brooklyn.
Running the same setup with EVs is a fascinating angle!

FWIW Taiwan has had an e-scooter battery swap system for a decade; Gogoro
Honda and few other have launched swapable battery vehicles in India too
