A battery transfer and charging system for electric vehicles (V). A displacement station (14) removes spent batteries (B) of electric vehicles by forcing charged batteries into position within the vehicles so as to laterally displace spent batteries. Spent batteries displaced from vehicles are received by a station (15) of the system. The receiving system includes an engagement means (24) for engaging with engagement structures (25) of the batteries, in order to assist the removal of spent batteries. Spent batteries removed from vehicles are tested (34) and charged (35, 36) as they progress through the system in an assembly-line fashion. Following recharge, batteries are conveyed to the displacement station for installation within later vehicles. Batteries which cannot adequately be recharged are automatically removed from the system. In one embodiment of the system, vehicles drive through the system in sequential order, stopping at a specified location for battery installation/removal.
