Hey Bill — those are some great ideas! I think what you propose is necessary to jump-start the EV trend at first, since eventually car makers will move to proprietarize these things to their competitive advantage.
However, this may be exactly whats needed at first to get people over the many roadblocks of mass EV adoption.
Also, I’m sure some would point out that the solutions you propose have limitations, but I’d say that those can be overcome with good processes; for instance, the swapping stations will need to have convenient and reliable payment and inventory systems, etc.
