Yeah, the pack swap has lots of prob if you aren't swapping your own pack, but it got me thinking..... Maybe there might be a merit for something like this idea : Charging a stranded EV You need a gimongous generatorto charge an EV in 5 min and a little generator would take hours or even days, but perhaps a way of using an 2nd EV to "recharge" a stranded EV you could do it super fast also

People don't want to risk getting a pack swapped in that has been abused, has high degradation, etc. The only way it can work is if you lease the pack, and while that model has had success in China and the EU, it's not worked here at all. I think Tesla only ever had a handful of takers willing to pay the extra premium over supercharging (which was then free), and it was only used in the LA <--> SF corridor and Tesla promised to give your original pack back when you returned! It's been tried also by others, and it's always failed in the US and EU, only in China has it had any success whatsoever, and I bet it won't last.
