The only scenario where I could see it start taking off would be if we already had free Tesla energy or a ton of working fusion and fission nuclear reactors everywhere.
stop calling them fossil fuels, don't play into their semantics games
Abiotic oil.
It is a renewable source so no point in stopping oil unless they know something we dont
The extra oil could be dumped into the chemical and polymer industries to push down the costs of national manufacturing, once the green commie BS regulations are lifted.
...or an engine that runs off water.
If we had a surplus of electrical power, it would make more sense to continue with burning geologic fuels anyway. They are energy-dense and easy to handle. If there is any shortage, they can be synthesized from any carbonaceous material and water.
Most people are unaware that much of the oil that Germany used during WW2 was synthetic.
Germany itself doesn't have oil, but they found out a method to produce syntethic oil from coal, which they still have plenty of to this day. Of course, to save their reserves, they preferred taking oil from occupied territories but that other story.
That practice began for them in World War I. South Africa used the process when it was faced with embargoes over apartheid.
In Alaska the EV power comes from natural gas
