Electric cars are not the solution for everything. The President's Limo is bullet proof and weighs probably 5 or 6 tons. It is too heavy for batteries. I don't know the details but maybe in an emergency the limo might need to travel 500 miles or more (just a guess). Plus, while I love EV's, ICE engines are a proven technology.
Maybe if Tesla made one....

Maybe you & crockett should ask Pres. Obama to watch that t.v. show?

I think maybe you don't understand my position on this. First, War is war, and its dirty and ugly and terrible. Pollution is the last problem to worry about with war.
My position is simple. There are some things that some regular folks like you and me can do to reduce our impact on the environment. An EV is good for me because I live only about 25 kilometres from the city, and I ride alone. Electric makes more sense for someone like me than Gas.
However, Gas makes more sense for trucks. There are no EV trucks yet as far as I know, so of course they have to use gas. I would never dump on them for using gas.
