    Battery only powered cars will never do for travel some kind of a hybrid platform might work . Using electric motors for drive does have a place todays hybrid uses piston engines I would think a turbine would be much better to charge a smaller battery pack for surges of energy like passing and hill climbing .
    A standardized removable battery would help with the possibility of a electric car being usable it would take some big infrastructure .
    GM made "TAG VEHICLES" into the 1990's they were sent out with small engine transmission that was returned from a company that made them all electric . Phone and power companies were the big buyers but they fell out of favor as they could not keep work crews heated in the winter .
    When I think back on all the **** I learned in high school it's a wonder I can think at all ! And then my lack of education hasn't hurt me none I can read the writing on the wall.

    Turbines are thirsty beasts. Once you get below about 100shp, the fuel burn levels out at about 15 gallons per hour.
    Rights, and Privileges, are not synonymous. We have the Right to Bear Arms. As soon as the Government mandates firearm registration, and permiting, then that Right becomes a Privilege, and may be taken away at our Master's discretion.

    What about us poor saps that pay a pile of road tax with every gallon of gas and diesel. Electric cars do not pay any road tax but enjoy use of our roads and highways. Chucky Schumer and congress will figure out how to fleece the EV car owners.

    The Government is already tackling that pile, and the Greenies are screaming bloody murder! They say it isn't fair.
