Been wanting this for a while. Make a battery standard. You stop and swap out a charged battery for your used battery via a system like a drive through car wash. Pull into the bay and the machinery automatically does the work.

It may not be such a huge deal for cars that do mostly local driving, but I think it would be great for longer haul trucks to move into the EV world if the major highways had such stations along the route.
