I thought AC propulsion's liquid fuel engine trailer was a neat idea.

Why carry around an engine when you don't need it most of the time.

It'd probably be even better if something like that was available and we could drop the size of the battery packs some.

Though if the new rapid recharge battery chemistries work out maybe it wont matter.

@alienghic @steve The problem in the US is the awful state of the charging infrastructure. Doesn’t matter what your car can do if you can’t find a charger to give you the juice.

The charging infrastructure is reportedly better in North America than South America.

And the high recharge rate batteries Toyota was teasing are still several years away, so there's still more time to build out chargers before it matters.
