We will probably see them developed in china.
Little "mom and pop" company TESLA already has a full electric car (not a hybrid like the Chevy Leaf) that looks as hot as a corvette...goes just as fast and you can drive all day and night on one charge.

So if they can do it...I'd say that "yes" IF Detroit & the oil industry weren't holding hands they could do anything they wanted to faster and better than a few guys in TESLA's garage can. But there is a lot of money still left to make in oil.
