It was tried and failed--admittedly a long time ago. However, today, I want to have a pretty good idea of the battery health of the battery in my car and avoid it randomly changing when I "fill up." Also most recharge locations are 24-hour with no one on staff so you'd drastically cut when and how an automated replacement could happen.

Yes, a user-swappable would be even better, but even limiting it to banker's hours allows you a five minute complete fill-up, which is still 100x than what it actually takes to fully charge via outlet, or even the 15 minutes you would take if you're lucky enough to find an available supercharger, which still only gives you 200 miles.
