Advantages of this system: Less resources used for batteries (vs BEVs) Less resources used for ICE generators (vs Hybrids) Better vehicle efficiency for normal (non-extended use) since you'll be carrying around less weight All of which results in: Cheaper vehicles
Perhaps overlooked is the longevity of large batteries compared to smaller batteries. A 100kwh battery might last 200k miles in a car while a 50kwh may last only 100k miles. With a big battery, you are buying more total energy transfer than with a smaller one.
