+1. Electric gives you the ability to use multiple power sources, both today and in the future. Given the lifespan of today's automobiles and the transition to more and more renewable power each year, this flexibility is important. My 2013 internal combustion engine may still run in 2050, but it will be tied to unleaded gasoline when better alternatives will almost certainly exist.
