That's true. I'm not saying there won't ever be any geopolitical problems wrt energy. Just that these tend to be easier to solve since with electricity you tend to get your power from a large portfolio of decentralized sources, including many that can be exploited locally pretty much anywhere in the world, while with oil, there are fewer sources and you can't really substitute as easily (right now transportation needs liquid fuels, so you could have all the wind power in the world and it won't help you).
I guess a good real-world example of what I'm saying is: Right now, we're not really seeing big crises and wars about electricity, and I expect that it will continue in a similar fashion in the future, with or without EVs on the grid.
