I'm not even going to dignify your giant post full of speculation with counter-points.

My motivation is to point out the mistaken impression that electric vehicles will solve global warming. I add however, that if there is a companion effort to make the cars actually use much less energy for propulsion, then things could come out right in the end. But if you look at the references I think you might see that the auto industry is not thinking much about how to make the cars themselves efficient.
And no, I do not like telling well intentioned people that they are being misled. But I would rather tell them now than after they spent a lot of money doing things that will probably not help much.
