Comment on California utilities scapegoat rooftop solar for high electricity rates

(I mean sure, they’re almost entirely just 18650 cells at their core, but swapping individual cells is hardly practical or safe for average end users.)

Indeed standards can’t be relied on and my comment doesn’t assume that.
What I would envision is a company that needs to install a battery swapping infrastructure for a car like this one (which I hear is common in Spain). People and businesses with extra solar power could have a 3rd-party drop off a vending machine which could be brand-specific.
