I'm very impressed with your knowledge and thinking in this area! Thank you! You migh well be interested in my book. I'm a biochemist, and so I wrote a (bio)chemist's view of energy and material economies. I also revealed some unpleasant truths about the EV revolution, and the as yet un-realized benefits of eFuels. See here:

...and also here:
https://andrewmoorescientist.com where most of the energy/mobility themes in the book are also covered, and an extra one, hydrogen, is described in much more detail. Interesting times, and I just hope that politicians understand all of this, and make the right decisions in the interests of sustainability (of all kinds).
