Well, if there is a problem to be solved , then there must be a solution out there.
The problem with the EVs are not the batteries. The manufacturers are the problem.
They won’t allow the car owner to seek a battery skate that replaces the faded one, or the creation of an aftermarket for batteries.
Most of these vehicles are going to be solid from the chassis up. Hence they should outlast one, two , three skates.
The software is the grip that seizes the car and make aftermarket swaps impossible. In a way , it is similar with teiecomunications equipment. You don’t have an activation code , your chassis won’t work. Even if all components ( backplan , boards , CPU ) are OEM. Lucent , Nortel and others used to sell those Digital Central Office Switching exchanges , minus peripherals , for well over USD 3 million.
I like what NIO does ( battery swap ) , but even then , it is not feasible in a large scale setting.
I also do like what some Indy installers in California do. They take up VW Beetles and Vans and electrify those vehicles. The Van is even better , as it has a higher Center of Gravity which makes it prone to roll overs. The skate , in part, solves the stability problem. And the rear engine compartment is perfect for the electrical motor.
But I am digressing.
