It wouldn’t be done because the energy density of a battery is atrocious compared to oil, something like 100x worse. Half of the input spent in burning oil comes for free in the air around us, so batteries will never likely beat it.
Why be just as bad as the old system? And while I’m not sure, I would expect it would be hugely more inefficient in terms of energy produced compared to energy delivered to the end user.
I mean no, because it probably wouldn’t ever need to be done.
But I’m not sure why it would be any worse than trucks full of oil.

As the parent commenter said, the energy itself wouldn’t need to be delivered. You just deliver the panels once.
