I also see this points, but we can remain to be skeptical or do something about it. Mobility and "needs" to be mobile is growing, traditional car's exhausts are polluting (and with the diesel-gate every "pro diesel or petrol" person was kicked against the head by a cynical car industry.
I don't say, electric cars are THE or the ONLY answer to growing mobility demand. Currently cars are cheap like mad because the market here is saturated (the first word was "stausurated", the German speakers know all about...) but I invested some money in a custom built bicycle - no electric one, no car. In fact I could have got a car or a Sony FF mirrorless with some lenses. (anyone noticed: again I tried to bring us back to Sony, lenses, maybe even Sigma? ^_^ ) I like being mobile. That's why I don't buy a car. Traffic is collapsing by too many of them. Do we find solutions? Well except for stopping the engines a couple of times - no. For immobile cars you can use any power source... And we even didn't start to talk about hydrogen engines (another ghost, like liquefied petroleum gas)
