One other thing is removable 'plug-in' batteries also makes sense when going on a trip. At highway speeds, the 'plug-in' batteries will add weight and not enhance performance. Taking them out adds luggage room.

All the plugin prototypes have a battery pack that weighs a few hundred pounds. A removeable traction pack will probably not be in the cards for awhile.
