I remember talking about and advocating battery swapping on here about a year ago, I think Toni has as well if memory serves. Essentially promoting the same things as in this video. Quite a few people on here were very critical of it, but I still believe it to be viable.

People struggled to get past the idea of owning the battery, plus it requires infrastructure and planning on a national scale. I could see battery swap stations operating as franchises, with work and QC testing of batteries to a recognised standard. Lots of opportunity for dodgy dealings, but OTOH no worse than petrol stations.
