The car companies aren't blocking the alternate fuel on a whim. They are blocking the electrics because of the severe reduction in parts that they can sell as a result. A typical gas car has a lot more parts that need replacing, and as a result the car manufacturer makes a lot more money servicing and replacing said parts.
Its a sad state of affairs really...the car companies make too much money off the carbon vehicles to want to change.
