Great points, but don't lose the trees in the forest: This isn't about efficiency, it's about convenience. Fueling a car for 400miles in 2m is acceptable at 16% efficiency if the energy wasted is "free". That's not possible with battery technology.

It's possible if you allow for battery swapping.

I think that'd be cool! The problem is batteries are worth so much $ the accountants get a little uppity when we stay exchanging a warranty part that costs $8k
