If you extrapolate this to the whole pack you get Nio's swappable battery system.

I don't see this scaling out well especially with trying to get multiple manufacturers onboard with standard packs.

Every EV can accept 120V or 240V power, and that can be obtained in a lot of ways including generators, portable battery packs, or inverters on ICE or EV vehicles.

A 240V output from one vehicle and a standard charging cord seems like a more universal solution to me than moving 100lb battery packs around.
