A 22kWh battery is about equivalent to a 3L tank of gas. Don’t care how efficient you make everything, you are not going to go far on that.

How about a battery the same size and weight as the 22kWh leaf battery?

Edit: I actually just looked up the 2010 Leaf pack and it’s 294kg, with CATL prototyping 500Wh/kg cells a 100kWh pack leaves 94kg for a nice box and BMS. Maybe this challenge is too easy.
