I don't think the "push" for electric has to do with control of the vehicle. More to do with moving the $$$ to the right pockets. Big money today is in power generation, especially so-called renewable power. Big money is NOT in fossil fuels. The push for electric vehicles is a push to charging rather than refueling, IMHO.
I like the idea of electric for in-town errands and commuting. I abhor the idea of electric for travel and even light/medium duty work. Since I refuse to buy a fleet of vehicles for specialized use, I'll buy one that instead meets the broadest needs. So, a 3/4-ton truck it is. When a full-electric can completely replace THAT, for a price I am willing to pay, then sure.... Until then, it simply does not make sense for me.
