2. No standard for battery packs

I think every car company that has an EV or hybrid has their own design for battery packs. I don't know how accessible these would be to allow a quick swap out. There would also need to be a critical mass of vehicles out there that use batteries to make this work and I don't believe we've reached that point yet. The idea may have more of an opportunity to succeed in the future, but all of the companies would have to develop a standard battery model that would allow an easy change first and I don't see that happening right now.
