I think this will be very difficult. Roughly this needs a 3000kW energy flow (I expect you need about 150kWh to realistically get 500 miles) and I doubt they will go 1000V+ safety wise on charging.
That means you roughly need a 220lbs charge cable if it's 10ft long.
That is not something a person can handle anymore.

There is of course an alternative, called hydrogen.
