Without recharging chemical reaction is pretty well dead. Recharging energy has to be produced elsewhere.
You aren't in denial about that are you?
I like the idea of battery run vehicles. However, L-I battery technology sucks. Solid state will be a little better.
I am not under the false impression that it it will save any energy. Batteries are an ecological disaster to produce and dispose of. The entire energy balance will not change much, just transferred from one location to another.
I think these stupid Moon Bats think that all our vehicles can be electric and recharged with solar and wind power as we all are living on the shore of Walden's Pond. They are idiots.
