Only once that can be done cheaply. Which so far is not the case. Basically electric cars are cheaper to drive than cars burning fossil fuels which in turn are cheaper to drive than cars burning synthetic fuels. As prices of things like batteries and renewables come down. Synthetic fuels might become cheaper than fossil fuels since you typically need lots of energy for producing synthetic fuels. If the amount of energy gets low enough it might get close enough to simply charging a battery with the energy and using it. But we're a very long way from that.
