As many have said, with Superchargers it seems this will be a niche strategy IMHO. It also seems it will give TM some governmental credits. Kudos to them for coming up with new ideas.
What would be interesting though would be the concept of "leased" batteries as joer00 mentioned above. What if it didn't need to be "your" battery? What happens when batteries are recycleable? Could you swap anytime to a new fresh battery, "included" in the price of ownership like Supercharging? Certainly a bit of time away, but while the swap stations aren't exactly something we'd all use that often, the concept of a "hot swappable" battery is the key bit here and very smart of TM.
