Then you overbuild the pack. The criticism of the new EV hummer's pack is an example, and it didn't even need swappability, is just trying to get the batteries to stay adequately in place. https://insideevs.com/news/668428/hummer-ev-battery-teardown-reveals-excessive-complexity-weight/ https://insideevs.com/news/668428/hummer-ev-battery-teardown... Imo rigidity still feels like a semi bullshit gripe though. A lift should be able to rise up under the vehicle and uniformly support the batteries. The vehicle can then let them go. I imagine the batteries more or less suspended underneath the vehicle in this configuration, with a latching mechanism holding them up. Some cross bracing to provide structure. Making sure the batteries stay attached though, that they don't give flying in a crash, is a significant & obvious problem though, now that I think of it.
