Gasoline and electric or a combination of both
are NOT the only methods for powering vehicles.

Emerging Alternative Fuels

https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/emerging.html

Experimentation to identify new fuels is a perpetual process. Several emerging alternative fuels are under development or already developed and may be newly available in the United States. These fuels may increase energy security, reduce emissions, improve vehicle performance, and stimulate the U.S. economy.

Some of these emerging fuels are considered alternative fuels under the Energy Policy Act of 1992 and may qualify for federal and state incentives and laws:

Biobutanol
Dimethyl ether
Methanol
Renewable hydrocarbon biofuels
(renewable diesel, renewable gasoline, and sustainable aviation fuel)
Additional fuels, such as ammonia, may also meet the criteria for alternative fuels when used in limited quantities. More research is needed to characterize the impacts of these fuels, such as necessary vehicle modifications, required fueling infrastructure, human health impacts, greenhouse gas emissions, and tailpipe emissions.

“A car powered by the sun drove almost 2,000 miles across the Australian outback at an average speed of 56 miles per hour. Sounds perfect — solar power is free and clean — but there are a few caveats: The Dutch-engineered car (above) just carried a driver, travelled only during daylight hours, and used a small battery to get rolling. Is this the future? Probably not. The photovoltaic cells that capture the sunlight and convert it to electricity are expensive to produce, and the car is made from pricey lightweight materials like titanium composites. However, solar-powered vehicles might find limited use as commuter cars where they had an opportunity to recharge during the day, and some are used today as golf carts.”
