If it can recharge overnight and truly has a range of over 350 miles, it is viable.

If it can't and/or doesn't, it is not viable.

And there are many other issues, but I am addressing only these two.

92 KWhr is a lot of power..

38 1/3 hours at 120v and 20A (typical US outlet circuit)
7 hours at 220v and 60A (your air conditioner)
2 hours at 440v and 100A (hey, lets rewire the neighborhood)
11 minutes at 5Kv and 100A (just skip around that transformer)

Starting to see the problem.. you need lots of volts and amps to get a quick charge..

I put the last one as a joke. You need your Jesus sticks to handle that one.

Line men, the guys who work on your power lines, use long insulated sticks to move things around. If you don’t, you get to meet Jesus....
