I think the idea in the Israeli model is that you own everything but the battery. The battery system operator owns the batteries and you simply lease them. When you buy the car, part of the price is a one-time battery deposit or buy-in charge, then you just pay a nominal fee for each exchange. You don't own any specific battery, but rather you own access to a charged battery exchange when needed. It's up to the battery system operator to properly charge/maintain/test the batteries and dispose of them when they've reached their life limit. It would be a trivial matter to assign a unique ID to each battery so the system could track charge/discharge cycles and related health stats.
The real beauty of the system is that electric power is provided in a way that closely mimics what we presently expect with gasoline-powered cars. How this would work in aviation is another matter...
