Hugh, a battery service station which supplies dud batteries would soon be out of business. Swappable batteries is the answer. A good battery has a range of only 20 to 40 miles. You gonna swap batteries that much? what about the pollution from large amounts of battery vapor from charging and battery leaks? I think this is probably the solution at some point, but not yet. In fact its looking like hot fusion may get here first. They have been able to run fusion reactors, they have problems with expensive shielding lasting only about 5 years. Solve that problem or find a source for helium 3 and we won't need batteries, fuel cells with hydrogen manufactured using fusion reactors would be a better answer.
