I always wondered if Gogoro-style batteries, but for cars could be a thing. Doesn't need to be automated. You pull up, twist and pull out ten 'pods' and replace them with fresh ones. Then drive off. Want a quick top-off, just swap out two. Pay for what you use.
As battery density improves, your range goes up too. They would need to engineer the access ports and the battery/BMS interconnect. No need for expensive, automated swap stations. Any gas station, hardware store, or grocery store could have a battery swap wall. Like 7-11s in Taiwan for Gogoro.
