That's all well and good. But it doesn't change that fact that you can't simply store a nuclear charged battery in a vehicle or any other appliance. The common misconception is that batteries contain electricity. But they don't. If that was the case, then it wouldn't matter if the electricity was originally generated from nuclear, renewables or coal, as electricity is electricity regardless of how it's produced. Instead, the batteries contain a method of generating electricity when power needs to be drawn from the battery. The battery itself is not a container for electricity, it contains the reaction required to produce it. You certainly wouldn't want a nuclear reaction going on in your car.
I’m not sure what your argument here is. I’m pretty sure most people are capable of understanding the chemistry of how a battery works.

Just as most people are capable of understanding that charging a car using electricity that has been generated via nuclear or renewables is therefore charging your car without there having been the need to burn fossil fuels.

Also there has been a few comments re grid level storage for renewables being ‘years away’..to some degree that’s true but only to some degree. The increase in operational storage over the last 5 years is substantial but nothing like what’s already in the works. Here’s a very good summary of the scale of what’s being put in place:
