No consumer is ever going to agree to this psychologically, so I wish people would stop pushing it.
No one is going to agree to swap the pristine battery in their new car with a reconditioned battery (at best) at a charging stop.

Ample wants to do the same but with fleet cars at first:
They might if they never owned a battery in the first place.
I certainly am not particularly interested in owning a massive expensive wear item of almost certainly soon to be obsolete technology.
In a world with standardized batteries that are easily swappable at a dedicated facility like an EV jiffy lube, it doesn't take much imagination to see your EV delivered with one of EV jiffy lube's swaps preinstalled and all priced accordingly.
