Maybe they can design a downsized and simplified version of an APU/EPU,
like fighter jets have, and power it with a very small tank of hydrazine.
When your batteries die, you fire up the APU and go another 50-60 miles.
Or just mark part of the battery capacity reserve and use the reserve
for another 50-60 miles.
Or just plan ahead.
Exactly. Motorcycles, especially older models, have had the 'Reserve'
concept in place since just about forever. My current bike doesn't have a
mechanical reserve where I have to flip a valve, but it has a digital fuel
gauge that starts flashing and counts the miles. I know I can go 35-40
miles once it goes on Reserve. And yes, planning ahead is the best.
