That would require arable land, which would affect food production or require devastating wild areas to create new monoculture farms. Both options would come with horrible side-effects for society and/or environment.

Certainly there is a scaling problem. However there are prototype fuels from several crops, and marine plants. There’s also synfuel which may not require crops.
Then we have all that crop land currently dedicated to corn for ethanol. What will happen to tha land and those farmers as we transition to EVs? Maybe they could switch over to jet fuel
