Where do you think gasoline comes from exactly? I can rechange an electric car completely off grid with solar/wind. I'm still working on my off-grid oil drilling and refinery operation.

Unless there is a revolution in batteries (which we all hope there is) you won't be able to store or transport electricity with anything like the ease you can gasoline.

If you try charging a car from a solar panel you aren't going to be going very far in a hurry.
