Is it possible to build an electric rocket?
No. Electric power has a very low thrust. It would require an enormous amount of energy to lift, far beyond even the most concentrated engine today. The closest is the Electron Rocket, which uses batteries to run the turbopumps vs exhaust from the rocket that most systems today use.
