Instead of snake oil, contemplate the net cargo weight and center of mass, vs the mass of the battery pack and how far it can practically be moved.

As a 'first approximation' I'd venture that if the battery has half the weight of the maximum cargo variation, it would have to move half the wheelbase of the vehicle. For more than partial compensation.

This may be possible with planetary screws and segmented cable stays. But it eliminates the possibility of structural batteries.
