The article and the person you're responding to are saying that oil demand will peak -- start to decrease after reaching an all-time-high -- as electrified transportation displaces it. Neither is saying that oil use will go to zero.
All shipping and aviation combined -- military and civilian -- accounts for a minority of global oil use. Hummers and people in India with ancient diesel tractors are just a footnote to global oil demand. It's entirely possible for oil demand to peak without F-22s, warships, or Indian tractors ever converting to batteries.
