I agree insofar as I agree that consumers don't purchase gas and oil.
Gas and oil are important for many more things that automobiles.
Batteries for trucks, trains, ships, and airplanes are only dreams.
non electrified railway lines, at least one local ish that they are
currently trying out. It plugs in and fast charges at either end of the
line.
They are a bit of niche product ie useful for lines that for whatever
reason haven’t been electrified and aren’t really worth the investment to
do so, but want a better train, as ever electric motors have the grunt aka
torque.
Not seen any properly large trucks/lorries, considering the drivers can
only drive for X hours the range of rather slower recharge is less of
problem than one might expect.
Ships and particularly commercial vessels are fairly dirty to put it
mildly, though the problems are probably more political than technical,
might even be something that Hydrogen could do!
Planes power to weight is going to be a technical challenge, though I’ve
not heard of anything bar small helicopter type of things and very much
prototypes and seeing what the technology can do.
