My thought would be buying modular battery packs so you can start small, save some money, buy more, then just keep adding them in month-after-month.

Start with 50 km range at beginning, end up with 500 km range by the end of the year.

Would also enforce positive replacement and recycling procedures by creating a standard modular power unit.

Arguably doable, but I doubt any manufacturer or EV will ever tolerate such easy mod-ability or repair-ability. They live to destroy any attempts by the consumer knowing how to service their own property.
