I agree with you in spirit, but the reality is you would not actually be energy independent. The parts that you’re talking about, for the car and the batteries and repairing the car, those are going to be produced somehow. So even if your fuel is produced by solar panels, there are still fossil fuels involved in the manufacture of everything. That’s still a massive improvement over burning gas while you drive.
Yes, recognizing there is a wider environmental impact than the fuel your vehicle uses means you must give up all technology. What a reasonable conclusion to take from that comment.

This is basically the philosophy of the Amish. I’ll pass.
