Has anyone released an electric car which came with an extra battery for trip replacements, and gave you the ability to buy more batteries for longer trips?

Yes. Chaina even: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNZy603as5w

There's trucks with swappable batteries but it all lacks a universal format.

The batteries weigh a few hundred pounds I think so it would be like replacing your motor mid roadtrip.
