Hi David, There were a number of teams that could swap battery packs in well less than 20 seconds. I think the Oklahoma U team had the record of like 15 seconds. That was for 1200 pounds of PbAcid out and 1200 in, connections made, body panels shut and driver on his way. Only took 8 students and a lot of practice.

They used to do that in the APS electrics races. I saw one in Cleveland many years ago. It was a sight to behold. They used a total brute force approach - a well trained crew, swarming over an EV, swapping batteries in perhaps a minute or two.
