I had thought about this, in my mind, the batteries would be leased and when swapped, there would be certain guarantees. I just cannot imagine a standardized size. If you only make short trips, why would you want all of the cost and weight of a long-distance battery pack? What about the differing needs of a bus and a one-person vehicle?

Well, don't battery packs consist of dozens of individual battery "sticks," with three cells attached together?

What if you had a quick way of swapping out those "sticks?"
