Ya, swapping would only make sense if some far superior chemistry for range comes out that takes a long time to charge.

Either that or a cheaper battery that has a lower life expectancy. To fix the changing range problem it could have a fixed kWh made available that's lower (say 70%) of the total battery capacity. When the capacity degrades to that available amount the battery is considered out-of-service.
