How did this survive this long? Pumping oil from the ground, so we can run big trucks, full of more oil, to thousands of gas stations so that everyone can then drive their oil burning cars to those stations and fill up more oil…

Sure there are problems to solve with the electric cars. But the whole idea sure is smarter from so many perspectives. Put up some solar panels on your house and you can refill the car without going anywhere. And no big trucks need to run around the country filling up gas stations either.
