A Google search comes up with the 85 kwH Tesla battery weighing 1200 lbs, so a 500 kwH battery would weigh about 7000 lbs. Add 1000 lbs or so for motors, and the drive package comes to about 8000 lbs.

How do the numbers in those calculations compare to your Airflow Bullet Truck? They use 7.2 m2 frontal area, 0.35 Cd, and 0.00633 Crr to calculate 947 kwH for 500 miles range.
__________________
06 Canyon: The vacuum gauge plus wheel covers helped increase summer 2015 mileage to 38.5 MPG, while summer 2016 mileage was 38.6 MPG without the wheel covers. Drove 33,021 miles 2016-2018 at 35.00 MPG.

22 Maverick: Summer 2022 burned 62.74 gallons in 3145.1 miles for 50.1 MPG. Winter 2023-2024 - 2416.7 miles, 58.66 gallons for 41 MPG.

So yes heavy, steady braking or acceleration will cause accelerated wear unless it’s in the design case.
Having the battery packs integrated into the frame should increase it's durability/strength ala Tesla's current vehicles.

To put the demand for batteries into scale: Tesla is making a big deal out of it's BigF'nBattery that they installed in Australia for grid storage.

This is just 120 trucks worth of batteries. Our proven Lithium and Cobalt reserves are going to go fast. Grid storage should probably find another more abundant chemistry to save the high performance cells for transportation..

Lithium and cobalt production will increase if demand is there, and grid storage will choose the most cost effective solution to the problem.

You would think that at some point they would start recycling lithium batteries, but "The average lithium cost associated with Li-ion battery production is less than 3% of the production cost." https://waste-management-world.com/a...ling-challenge

I feel the ultimate energy storage device for transportation is a tank of gasoline.

phys.org:Cheap, sustainable battery made from tree bark tannins
Quote:
"The greatest benefit of using a renewable polymer tannin is that Nature produces a huge amount of tannin, which can be extracted from underused bark with minimal cost and efforts," Zhu told Phys.org. "The redox-active phenolic hydroxyl groups of tannins are more than 5000 times higher than lignin, which was previously considered to be the most promising biopolymer for electrochemical energy storage. Due to tannin's significant low molecular weight and extremely high phenolic hydroxyl content, the interpenetrating network of tannins and polypyrrole shows an outstanding electrochemical performance. We think tannin is the new champion of naturally occurring redox-active biopolymers."

I feel that the ultimate energy storage device is a reactor of plutonium. Better yet, perhaps, antimatter.
