You just want people to flame you isn't it? 
Of course there are other ways to power cars other than petrol..but
can electric cars provide the kind of driving range that a
equivalent petrol-powered car can do? If a petrol-powered car can
travel 500km on a full tank, can the same car, but electrically
powered, travel the same (500km) distance on one full charge? The
answer is NO..and this is the main reason why fully-electric cars
are still far from reality..
And once again, I'm repeating myself here..some other forumnites
also said before..How is electricity generated? By the burning of
fossil fuels! Whether they use CNG, coke or other fossil fuels,
power plants burn fuels to generate electricity..so at the end of
the day electric cars is LPPL..
And why a lot of people still think petrol-powered car is still the
best? Because it is still the most powerful method of powering a
car..and even if consumers wanted to buy electric cars or
hydrogen-powered cars, it is still a long way before any of these
are commercialised because it is not even fully developed yet..so
hence the reason why cars are still sticking to petrol
currently..
VW also said before, hydrogen will never replace petrol because
turning hydrogen into liquid hydrogen is an expensive, dangerous
and power-consuming activity..meaning even if the car's exhaust
only emits water vapour, but there is still carbon dioxide
generated indirectly when they pump liquid hydrogen because a lot
of electricity is needed to convert gaseous hydrogen into liquid
hydrogen..so once again, LPPL..
Even though now there are ways to use natural and renewable energy
sources like wind, water and heat energy to generate electricity,
but most of the energy used to generate electricity is still coming
from fossil fuel..unless we humans find ways to use 100% renewable
energy sources to generate electricity, if not all the alternatives
to petrol cars are still useless..only ethanol powered cars are the
most practical IMHO..and best would be PURE ethanol powered
cars..very powerful and the carbon dioxide released will be
re-absorbed by the sugar canes..
So YOU are the self-certified complete ignorant.
