EVs - The information I had to post

The true multi-fuel car
The beauty of powering cars with electricity from the grid is that we can generate the electricity any way we want without changing the cars. As we have seen, we can generate electricity with our choice of fossil fuels. We can also use nuclear fuel, or we can generate it with any of a number of "green" sources, such as hydroelectric, geothermal, wind, solar, or biomass. Electricity is the universal currency of energy, and we already have a comprehensive distribution system for it.

Now my question is, why are the electric companies sitting around letting the oil companies rule the car industry? If every car in the world was electric, then wouldn't they be the richest energy distribution companies in the world, and that is the mandate of a company, right?. So where are the grants, where is the sponsership, when will they strike? Are they biding their time? Are they hidding in the shadows? Where are the electric giants?
