Or maybe just swappable batteries? Dock, empty cell goes out through port A, new cell goes in through B, drive off?
I reckon the majority of the car weight is batteries, but this could lead to cheaper cars, perhaps with shorter range but able to “recharge” faster than a gas pump, and takes away the range anxiety of an aging battery you can’t easily replace.
Probably not factoring in some very obvious drawbacks here, of course.
