Who’s making all this gas? Electricity can be generated by renewable sources, you don’t need a working power grid. Hell, it can also be generated by gas, if you have a generator.
Batteries don’t last forever, no, but they last a lot longer than whatever small amount of gas is local to you.
I think people have this unchallenged fantasy that they can stockpile Gas and it’ll just last forever but it won’t. Gasoline (yes Diesel too) is volatile and goes bad over time as the volatiles evaoprate, or as it oxidizes. Batteries if well taken care of can last for years, decades even. They are more sustainable long term than Gasoline is and ever will be.
