With the current way of owning an EV, you own the battery. And because batteries degrade overtime, the health of the battery is a big component of the value of your car. Using a service like that means you'll get a random battery every time you swap.

I guess that can change if you lease the battery separately.

EVs will switch to LFP batteries that will have a life span of 300k miles with current technology and in 10 years will be at a million miles. Batteries will last longer than the cars.

Like with cooking gas cylinders?

If you don't own it, as long it's certified good and won't blow your car up it doesn't really matter if it's well-worn, etc?
