Many people underappreciate the value of liquid energy.
The utility of being able to put your energy in a 5 gallon container and move it anywhere you'd like doesn't compare with batteries.

I'm seeing lots of videos with a portable "5 gallon container" sized batteries that people are moving around.
Even better, since you can attach some solar panels and not have to go refill the container, unlike gas/diesel containers.
This isn't to say batteries/solar are perfect for this. But, they are certainly providing enough pros vs liquid fuels that tons of people are widely using them in place of gasoline/diesel/kerosene.
Personally, if I never have to hear a damn generator running all frigging day/night while at a campsite, the cost to switch to batteries/solar will have been entirely worthwhile.
