Thank the very environmental lobbyists who hate on IC engines for not enabling us to fix that.

FTW? The same technology that charges batteries in hybrids can charge batteries in electric vehicles.
As previously said in the water engine thread, the only true renewable resource is sunlight, and it is a far sight easier to turn that into electricity than it is to turn it into oil. Whether you use the electricity to break water apart for fuel cells, or IC, or use it to power electric motors, who cares.
The only thing holding back electric vehicles besides the oil lobbies has been battery technology.
