“Energy is something we take for granted, because we just plug things into the wall, and it feels as inevitable as air. The best-known wearable energy-harvesting tech today is, of course, solar, which pulls down electrons from sunlight or ambient light. Not least of those considerations is energy storage [and generation].”

Also, besides giving you the ability to charge at night when most utility rates are lower, future vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology may allow you to sell some of your stored energy back to the utilities. Currently, there are some industrial facilities that use battery swapping to replenish the energy stores of electric forklifts.
