It's not too practical. How about making a very long range EV first, then try it. Let's say, a Honda Insight with 500kg of Li- Ion stuffed in, might go 500 miles (driven at 50mph and getting 100Wh/mile). So, drive that far each day, and put back the 60kW overnight. 10 hours driving, 10 hours charging.. would that be easier to arrange? How far exactly is it, coast to coast?
