To make my battery powered tools most useful requires the ability to quickly swap discharged batteries with (pre-)charged batteries. The problem is that an EV's (Tesla S) batteries, while offering decent range on a single (re-)charge, weigh about 1,200 lbs. (and cost ???) making that option unlikely.

That doesn't seem like a complete dealbreaker to me. There is, after all, always the easier option of just being able to switch from one battery to the next by literally flipping a switch that changes which battery is powering the car.
