Future Car
What we need for the future-car is a standardized battery pack that gets "rented" from a station. You pull in with a low battery and the tech swaps out your empty pack for a full one charges you a power fee for the diference and a maintenance fee (that covers the wear and tear on a pack). A larger vehicle (like a pickup) could use multiple packs, smaller vehicles just one.
You would never have to deal with battery replacement/recycling since it would be handled by the service stations. You could still charge your commuter at home overnight but when you were out "on the road" you just pull in, swap packs and be on your way just like we do now with gasoline.
Each pack would be "smart" it would track total charge/discharge cycles. Each time it was swapped at a station the "pump" would check current state of charge and would read the number of charges/discharges since that pack was at a station so the maintenance fee would be based on that count.
