I guess the fly in the ointment is the price of the power plant itself. Are we talking several thousand or tens of thousands? Even if it can be reused in a new chassis and/or body (The same thing?) if the price is, say $35,000 for the power unit, it would still be a significant hurdle to overcome.

Still, an interesting premise.

price of the power plant

You plug the power plant into your house when the car is at rest. It then provides enough power to electrify and heat/cool your house. One could make you a pretty popular house guest.

The possibility that it may be a one-time purchase and move from vehicle to vehicle could soften that blow.

Of course, nothing lasts 100 years if it requires newer items to remain adaptive to it...
