For any long trip we will be using petroleum as the energy source for a long time.
The day an electric vehicle can travel 700 to 900 miles in a day and be 100% ready to go the next day just as far electric will take over. That is a long way off.

Electric is a partial solution and always will be. That doesn't mean there is anything wrong with it. I don't see any type of body style or fuel type ever being "the one" vehicle on the road. In addition to my fun cars I have a Volt and a Tundra. I like them both, each has its place and its use.
Electric delivery trucks and garbage trucks in cities will be a game changer in terms of quality of live for city dwellers. I wonder if Musk designed passenger cars first, before trucks. Could it be due to tax advantages only accruing to passenger cars?
There are lots of transportation problems and almost as many solutions.
