Even if Switzerland just buys LPG and transmits electricity using that LPG, it is much more efficient to generate energy in big plants than in car motors. I do not see electricity generation a problem. Long routes are still problem though in Europe where I am used to going with 170km/h, but 150km/h is normal on the highway in Eastern Europe.
This is a problem only in corrupt countries. Switzerland is one of the few countries where government projects finish on time in the planned amount of money.
Ah yes. In non-corrupt countries those plants and pipelines and distribution grids appear out of thin air.
It's just amazing how "we need to build huge ass plants and all the infrastructure" is just dismissed as insignificant (also in a similar discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32992808).
