I'm thinking out loud here, so it may not make sense. Here goes:
One of the reasons my LER may have to go is that I travel to areas with few charging options. These days when I go to a project I end up at either rural hotels, apartments, or Airbnb's. Plugs are rarely available. My question is whether there's some kind of possible external battery on a dolly type setup that can be charged from a wall outlet when I'm at work or sleeping; and then plugged in to the truck during down time; whether it be at my job site or at the whatever place I'm staying at. It's unlikely that I'd use more than 50% of the pack as the most I've normally used daily for work is 50% in the winter, that means about 65kw external battery.
I'm still waiting for my buy back replacement Powerboost, but I have the option to keep with cash. For better or worse, with the time I've been waiting I've had time to weigh my options.
