I wonder if there was range anxiety back when motorized vehicles first came about.

The story is anecdotal, I don't have a second source and I was just a kid but... I heard once about an old couple that had a 1910s vintage car up on blocks in the barn because when they bought it they didn't know they would have to keep buying it gas. They were going to never have to buy oats again.
And I've drafted trucks on dark mountain roads (years past) due to gas range anxiety. Now I've got two 20-liter gas cans under the hood.
I figure a 20-liter can stuffed with Lithium cells, at the same weight, would hold the electric equivalent of one gallon of gas. The bottom would have batteries and the top would have retractable power cord.
