Given how many cars exist globally, I do wonder where 100's of Kgs of batteries per car is going to come from.

A bike requires much less and indeed most people could get by with one so I'd like to see more of this too. But it doesn't cater to the lowest common denominator of population use cases, it doesn't signal wealth, and convenience is king. So I don't think it will come about.
