This is supposedly a EV battery ejection system to make battery fires easier to control. Pedestrians and cyclists had best say goodbye to their lower legs.

My immediate thought was, why not use this to enable standardized quick-swappable batteries? Maybe not with quite as much ejection force though.
This seems like it would solve any issues with range as well. Instead of stopping for hours to recharge you could just swap the battery (for a small fee).
My first thought when it popped out the side of the car was “I wonder if I could surf that battery across the road…”
