Well that's the beauty of it, electric power is a well known and standard energy generation/storage/transmission technology. It can come from many sources, including ones that haven't been invented yet. A gallon of gasoline is a marvelous thing, but to convert, let's say mechanical energy, to gasoline is not exactly straight forward. Converting mechanical energy to electricity is pretty simple.
100 years ago if you had a gasoline powered vehicle you didn't have a gas station every 100 yards in the major cities. It took a while to build the distribution infrastructure, we're actually ahead of that point with electricity, as stated above.
No argument about the "limitations of some evolving technologies", it's just that some people can't really comprehend the "evolving" part of that sentence - they think that what they see now is all they'll ever see. Of course if it was up to their imagination and ambition, that would be true.

While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
