Has anybody tried something silly like carrying 5 fully charged batteries in their trunk, and every time your about to run out of energy, you stop, switch to a new battery, and keep going till you’ve gone through all 5?(Then you stop somewhere and recharge them all).

Last time I checked on EVs, it was 2010, when they could only do 10 to 30 miles per battery, and I remember somebody did this with their own EV converted from a gas car to travel long distance, lol.

Right now, I’m carless, and depend on myself using a bicycle to travel anywhere(I have a 50 mile a day range, lol.) I’m injured right now so I can’t ride, so probably why I started thinking about EVs after all these years.

    A Tesla Model Y battery weighs 1,700 lbs. Think what lugging along five of them would be like.

      That’s a plot twist I didn’t see coming, last time I saw an EV battery in the early 2010s(from a custom car) it was still at a weight that a person could pick up with both hands. (That’s all I remember, and why somebody was able to rotate battery packs for long drives.)
