    Yes, they’re easily solved with a larger fuel tank that can take you further before refilling. “Doubling the range” on an ICE vehicle is as simple as some extra plastic/sheet metal with very little cost. The same isn’t true for battery packs. The physics of it is that gasoline and diesel have more energy density than lithium (or other current compounds) batteries.
