They weren't planning on there being very many people left on the planet who could take part in 'normal' society by 2050.
They might even have a few suppressed technologies they were planning to bring out to help them build and run their utopia.
Centuries of searching for chemically compatible materials for a battery that can store significant energy, charge quickly, sustain many charge-discharge cycles, and do so safely and reliably have yielded batteries capable of powering appliances but still not well suited to powering vehicles or electric grids.
