For battery swapping I have imagined something similar but less high tech. I always thought that you would pay at a battery station get out of the car, open the batter compartment aka the rear bumper, then you as the driver pull out long 3 for bricks, put them into the charging machine, pull out the new ones and plug them in, close the rear bumper get in the car and drive off

Swapping batteries would be nice but each "Swapping Station" would have to stock a ton of batteries. Even if it only took an hour to recharge, they would still need to keep enough to satisfy an hour's worth of customers. Especially since each vehicle is probably going to take more than one.

Of course, that's assuming everyone will be driving an electric vehicle. By the time that happens, I'm sure we will have it figured out pretty well.

We'll get Hank Hill behind it. He's use to swapping propane and propane accesories.
