Will be interesting to see how they go about the battery issue and swapping.

Yea, there would probably have to be a way to electronically scan to make sure the car owner returned the same batteries that were put in.

But I'm not very convinced battery swapping is ever going to be a thing. Super fast charging that gets you ~80% or something in a reasonable time strikes me as more likely.

Agreed. Charging won't ever be as fast as fueling, but they're getting it fast enough to be bearable for most people.
