This is actually smart thinking.

Renewable power alone will not get it done.

Correct. And all of the battery infrastructure that is needed for renewable grid energy to be effective might be better served in vehicles. If you want to reduce carbon emissions you have to acknowledge that a lot of batteries will be required. Wouldn't it be preferable to have those batteries in cars instead of in massive battery banks to store solar/wind energy that can't always produce instantaneous power?
