Well, first of all I suggest you study (so-called) hybrid cars (prius etc.), as well as 'micro hybrid' cars, that essentially replace the alternator with a big electric motor. The ultimate problem is not the electric motors, but finding a way to get enough electricity to run them. The attractiveness of fossil fuel is the sheer energy density - even with the disgracefully shameful inefficiency with which our present systems convert it, nothing else even comes close to matching it for practical ability to fit a useful amount in a reasonable space.
