Only playing electric devil's advocate here. :) Not an attack on people using fuel. Just pointing out the history and that there's different lived experiences. The only fuel we used when I was a lad, was diesel for our tractor, sitting in 200 liter barrel and being replenished maybe two times each year. True, electric power for transportation is not as practical as combustion fuel at the moment. Especially, as you rightfully pointed out, the storage aspect. IMO, that's because over a hundred years of infrastructure creation stands behind it. From extraction to distribution of the fuel, from design and production of the cars, even business practices, everything has seen a ton of optimization in that time frame. If that kind of optimization had been invested into electric power systems, I speculate we'd look at a very different situation today. One other thing: I can (and do) make, store and use my own electrical power at home. I can't drill for oil in my back yard, refine it and do anything useful with it. I understand that in the real world, most of us have to take part in 'the fuel economy', so there's that.
