For this system to work, the car owner would no longer own the batteries at all.
Either the battery swap company would have to own them. Or some third party would.
The car owner would pay a rental or lease on the batteries. So if they got bad batteries, it wouldn't matter as far as swapping. Now it would suck as far as not getting the range you were promised.
Maybe the lease could include a guarantee that the swapped in batteries will be so good, or so good on average over the course of the year.
