The 30 hours of battery life lie can be worked around with a (common enough nowadays) external battery pack/power bank, it's a lot of time I wonder how there isn't a market for "power bank trailers" for EV's, something that you can rent for the times you need the extra range (or actually buy if you need it often).

Driving a car with a (low, not prone to lateral wind effects) trailer is inconvenient but doable when needed.



BMW gave out an ICE "range extender" for their i3s - so I guess that's the "power bank" approach to these.
