Indeed universal standards can’t be expected to exist or relied on and my comment doesn’t assume that.

What I would envision is a company that needs to deploy 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.

Or it could be scooter batteries. I heard about battery swapping station for scooters in the UK. I don’t recall the brand though.

(update) It’s worth noting that a sustainable user-repairable battery is being planned, called the “Infinite Battery”:
