Car design is already to homogenous. I can't imagine the new levels of boring we'd reach if they all had to accommodate a standard battery pack.

They'd have to store charging time/changing time as many batteries as there are in the cars that stop by. Newer battery designs with better durability can probably be quick charged without hurting the life (obviously has yet to be seen), so if it's like 2 hours vs. say 10 minutes for pumping gas, that's not too unreasonable.
How about a standard small pack? Larger cars can use 2, or 3. Maybe an even smaller one, Corolla/Civic uses 3, a Camry uses 4, and luxobarges/SUV uses 5-6.
