Innovative companies like Tesla seem to be trying to come up with alternatives at least.
Combine a powerwall with a solar array on your roof (space you're not using anyways)...and dump even more energy to the batteries.

while completely impractical for most people in most situations, the more of these start-ups there are the quicker innovations in battery tech and solar panels and inverters will happen which will in turn make these sorts of systems much more practical, feasible and economical for more people.
