yeah, it will end up being like a F150 Lightning or a Hummer. HUGE amounts of battery packs and super inefficient - but still totally feasible. Just expensive.
Don’t count on regen braking to help you, because the distance you need to brake in (eg. coming to a red light) doesn’t change, but thr distance it takes to brake increases, so you’ll end up relying on your real brakes a lot more. If you had unlimited distance to stop in, then you’d be right.
In any case, it’s still a fantastic idea, especially as batteries keep getting denser and cheaper.
