I suppose this has a better chance to happen in city trucks than in cars. Delivery trucks are used more heavily, owners care more about efficiency, they are bigger and taller, so they can offer easier structural options to house swappable batteries. Also, swappable batteries could make charging very fast, if a sufficient stock of batteries is kept on a charging station.

Cars could follow, but it's significantly more involved in them. In most cases, the batteries are a relatively thin layer covering the entire floor space, or similar.
