Granted, you could argue that it's more efficient to generate electricity and use it in EV, but your argument is mainly focused on how gasoline is a limited resource. Well, so is other forms of fossil fuels(other than maybe natural gas, though I am not sure how fast we are generating that versus how fast we are using it), and uranium.
Renewables are too dependant on geographical locations. You can practically build a fossil fuel or nuclear power plant anywhere you want as long as it's remote enough, but renewables? You are limited to where it is windy/has enough water flow/sunny(solar takes up a crap ton of land, BTW).

Well I'm no expert. But to me, a limited resource is exactly that, limited. Meaning at some point or another it will run out. So is it better to just wait until we run out? Or is it better to start now before we run out. And I'm not getting into some long drawn out debate about it. Regardless of anyone's protests this is coming. Gasoline-powered vehicles will be phased out and EV will take their place. And soon after that gas-powered engines will slowly start to diminish until they are a distant memory. I'll be switching over soon because there is no since in waiting until the last minute. Like I said, can't beat em, might as well join em.
