My car stays parked on the street. How would I plug it in? First time someone trips over the extension cord I'd get sued. This will never be very practical for me.
And I suppose farm equipment can be made to run on batteries? NOT. Or semi trucks to bring the groceries, and everything else to your city? NOT. Airplanes? NOT. Ships? NOT (although they could be nuclear or sail, or even oared - anybody up for a job rowing a freighter?).
