Trucks. Trucks. Trucks. You keep ignoring trucks. They get every god damned thing done and cannot operate on electric until lighter and more energy dense batteries are developed. A lot lighter and a lot more energy dense by several factors.
We have the mystical 50mpg car everyone dreamed about thirty years ago. No one will buy them. They need a truck.
So because trucks cannot be electric at the moment (doubtful, btw, but let's accept this premise), we should not try to electrify other parts of the global fleet? Every little bit helps, plus the research that goes into that will create these lighter and more energy dense batteries you speak of.
