This idea improves one problem: range (which arguably isn't actually a big problem, but is perceived to be) but would have a whole bunch of downsides.

On the range thing...is there an app out there that could track your typical driving habits in an ICE and convert it to a simple report of what it would look like if you had an EV? I'm thinking it would spit you out a graph that shows where your battery charge would be day to day (could be one each for level 1 and level 2 charging), and demonstrate how often you'd get anywhere near 'empty'.

I think it would be really informative and do a lot to ease range anxiety. I still think the goal should be hitting 100 miles in the simplest/lightest way possible, and then figure out secondary solutions to generate/deliver more electricity as needed (swappable batteries/hydrogen/propane/etc)
