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.

    That actually sounds like the best possible setup for a car, the best of both worlds of electric and combustion engines.

    When I made this post, I didn’t realize EV battery sizes had increased exponentially, I would have assumed the size stayed the same and capacity increased x10 by now.
