They're pretty inefficient in that you're converting to electrickery, storing
or transmitting it.  You jam it into another storage medium and then you
convert it back into kinetic energy.

I don't know what, but an alternative clean high density energy source is
required.

If we suddenly switched everyone to EV... the grid would collapse.. there's
not enough capacity to have everyone trying to charge their thing over night.
That's probably not going to change if you try to take fossil fuels out of
power generation also.  Then you need to find not only more power, but some
alternative high level baseline power that's there all the time.
