IMHO we are a very long way from moving off gasoline. Hydrogen makes a lot more sense if it can be done. We have not even began to see all the environmental issue with batteries.
Perhaps we need more electric trains like Europe has. No batteries and move 100’s of people at a time. We did have the track system but let it fall apart. Still cheaper solution then all the others. Used to have a train station in every small town in America. We could again.

Trains make a lot of sense to me !
