    Put the big battery pack (and maybe an ICE powered generator + fuel) on a trailer for cruising, then have a “ditch trailer and escape” button for that 20 mile sprint at the end of the trip.

        Bonus: you can always circle back and pick up the recharge pack, and if you put solar cells on top it can trickle in a (tiny) extra charge when you’re away. More practical: plug it into the grid for slow charging of your big batteries while you zip around town in your lightweight configuration.

          Imagine if you called the trailer your ‘house’ and left it in the one place all the time!

            A really small house can hold 50 gallons of diesel and a generator, be towed to a filling station, and follow you thousands of miles…

            If you want a 200 mile round-trip limited EV that you always charge at home, you can buy those today from all kinds of sellers.
