Hydrogen fuel cells would be a more logical choice. The technology is still evolving but they would be true zero emission with lower weight/ KWH ratios.
How many of us have twisted our backs lifting a battery into a car????
Or they could just go nuclear like the Navy.....
@WBC- interesting info you provided. Never thought of weight to KWH ratios before.
A recent test of Ford's F-150 EV truck was less than spectacular.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for these new technologies, just don't try and ram them down our throats.
For reference, I run the Facilities Dept. at a mid-size University. In my 25 years we've added a 2.0 MW co-gen plant, over 1500 tons of water-source geothermal heating and cooling, 50 KW solar PV. We currently have an RFP out for an additional 750KW Solar too.
And 18 EV chargers, with more coming.
