I have a very old book. about 1910 or so, trying to sell people on the use of electric trucks for deliveries in cities. They had exactly that idea used in some of those ancient trucks. The batteries would be mounted on a removable rack. You would disconnect the rack and replace it with a charged one. So much old stuff is new again.
