>That oil/natural gas/whatever is just going to get burned at some large newly built plan and transferred using a ton of grid upgrades (all likely paid for using bonds).
Drivers of electric cars can choose their electricity source. Whether they want to pay more for green electricity is up to them. If there is demand more green electricity will be produced. With a ICE there is no choice.
>Frankly, i've been wondering for the past few years what percentage of a modern car's production cost is actually the gas engine.
I don't care about that. I've already paid 30% of my cars value just for the gasoline alone. Even if I had to pay 30% more for an electric car then it would still be worth it because of tax benefits and less maintenance.
