We will NEVER have enough wind and solar to charge an "all electric" fleet of cars and trucks.

If you don't want CO2 emissions from electric generation we had better start research and development on alternative nuclear power solutions.

IMHO the greater challenge is commercial trucking. Personal light vehicles are actually not that big a deal as most utilities have indicated. The average commute uses between 6 and 8 kWh. That’s pretty easy to make every day with solar or wind. 600 kWh for a semi not so much. :).

Jmho. Not an expert.
