What if the electricity is from Natural gas, Nuclear, Hydro, wind or solar?

They really need to do two things.

Improve batteries removing internal resistance so they charge is minutes and don’t wear out and not susceptible to temperature fluctuations.

Also beef up the power grid so it can handle the load securely.

Using onboard gas engines to recharge and provide propulsion is complicated, heavy and expensive.

CNG is excellent but each fuel station costs a million or so for the pumps. 3000+ psi takes a fair amount of power on its own. E=MC^2
