I can imagine the World that no longer depend on petrol-Dollar and moving towards a common currency on which renewable energy industries and the electrified infrastructure will be based on.

The history of EV is longer then internal combustion engine starting from 1830s before it was favored over by the later. Much of it has to do with the rise of oil on the back of proven technology from the steam-engine age that propelled the 1s Industrial Revolution.
