The key to this problem may be standardized batteries for all cars.
Then, much like the propane cylinder swap places - drive in, swap your
discharged battery (batteries) for fully charged ones and be on your
way.'Course everything would have to be designed around that kind of
delivery system. - shap of the car, shape of the battery box, types of
batteries, all must match up.. But could be done.
