Like what? Ethanol? Bio-diesel? Natural Gas? LNP? Hydrogen? The only thing wrong with electric motors is the energy storage isn't there yet. But if you make cars with a electric motor powertrain, the energy generating motor can use one of these alternative fuel types with only swapping out a few parts. It would be interesting if the auto companies made electric vehicles with battery packs for city driving, but if you wanted to go out of town, you could rent a motor from them for a few days.

The main reason electric cars are an option is because the infrastructure is already in place (even though it isn't always the best). Natural gas is also in many homes and could get filling stations up and running quickly. Hydrogen could be great if the found out a simple way to use a little energy to split H20 molecules at home. Ethanol and bio-diesel have to be sold at gas stations run by companies looking to make money, not sell to a handful of customers that can use it and will use it.
