Yes, if EVs are produced with standardized modular battery arrays.

Stop by the "gas" station, open up the hood, grab your drained battery cell cards, bring them in, and pay for fully-charged cell cards to swap in.

The "gas" station can then charge the cards you brought and give them to another customer.

It's worth noting that, under this scheme, battery life can be monitored and manufacturers can recycle/replace EOL cards when the "gas" station sends them in.

No more waiting for the car to be charged. No more changes to homes. Just use the existing infrastructure! It's a win-win.

Two wheelers already do this in many places. Gogoro is one option where you just pull up to a station, put your old battery in, and it'll tell you which fully charged one to pull out. If the station detects bad health or battery life it'll recycle/replace it the next time someone visits.
