As long as there's still fossil fuel powered transportation, it would make more sense to use that excess power to charge batteries, since that converts electricity into motion more efficiently than taking the detour through synthetic burnable fuel.

Destroying fossil fuel powered transportation then replacing them with electric would actually produce more carbon. All new transportation should be electric but the already running transportation if can be run on captured carbon would result net carbon decrease.
