If you are ready to wait 20-30 min to charge battery powered car while on the trip you’re welcome if you are ready to be beta tester you are more than welcome
Clearly you haven’t done your own research well enough or you’d have heard of two words - Battery Swapping. NIO already has an infra in China and is building an infra in Europe where batteries can be swapped in 3 mins - i.e. around the same time is would take to refuel. I have no doubt this will be the tech used for more serious electric motorsports and will likely trickle down to performance models in the consumer space.
