I thought something like this would be a good idea too. However, two weekends ago I talked to a knowledgeable motor guy at the EV build day about single phase 110V AC. He said that single phase 110V AC isn't even as efficient as DC. You have to go to three phase to get the extra efficiency. So, unless you go to three phase, DC is really the way to go.
