I understand your point and its funny but It doesn't matter because...entropy and resistance.
The only difference between an internal combustion engine (ICE) and a plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) is the distance to the tailpipe. The same amount of oil and gas are burned to power both. These are nature's laws, not mine. (see: 1st Law of Thermodynamics)
The illusion is one of control. If you have a gallon of refined oil (gas/diesel fuel) you are in personal possession of over a hundred million years of the collection by plants of solar energy refined into a gallon of pure potential. If you go all electric, you are trusting someone else to provide you with the very energy you need to live; regardless of your political views or religious beliefs or race...etc.
Totally your call, but if I were you, I'd go with the fossil fuels and autonomy over my life.
They say that Western democracies and specifically The USA has freed billions of people around the world, lifting them from poverty and authoritarian governments. But it was really fossil fuels that allowed this. Don't be so quick to bite the hand that feeds you.
