I’m not sure people would hoard them, because they need to ‘fill up’ again.

People who mostly use their car for commuting and charge it at home, but occasionally go on road trips, might make sure they put in the worst batteries any time they go on a road trip. People don't generally play such games with propane tanks because there's not even $20 difference in value between a brand new tank and the worst tank one might get at an exchange. Up the price scale to thousands of dollars, though, and such gamesmanship becomes worthwhile.
