Ah, yes, solar power and battery-electric cars, the ideal choice for people who prefer to drive at night.

Seriously, though, in territories where car ownership rates are high, the quantity of energy supplied as motor fuel is often comparable to or even larger than that supplied as electricity. That's not a problem you can hand-wave for very long. It means massive investments in transmission and distribution as well as new generation. And that takes time.
