It might just be easier to rent a car for the trip, I can't imagine having to add or remove batteries or how good shared batteries would be if they are constantly installed and removed, and if you go to places that dont have charging infrastructure renting a gas car would probably be the way to go
I upvoted for the rental suggestion. So many people get stuck on edge cases, like an annual road trip, that they lose sight of the (immense) daily benefits.
For most people, you'll actually come out ahead by buying an EV for daily life, and renting a gas car for the week of your trip. Plus, you can get a rental that holds all of your passengers/cargo much better than your daily driver.
Yeah, renting would work too. Though honestly trains would be best.
Yeah I guess depends where you are trying to go, I was imagining like camping out in Utah or Arizona sometimes even gas stations are rare
