There are some fundamental flaws in the belief that electric cars would solve anything related to the environment.
According to scientists we are already so far past the tipping point that we'd need a negative carbon footprint to at least stay below 2Β° warming and that just can't be done with switching everything to electric, simply because producing cars and batteries has its own carbon footprint that only in the very long run results in less CO2 where the "less" is by far not enough to reach negative numbers.
That leaves only few options, depending on how far you believe the science and how far you're willing to go.
If you don't believe the science, you'll want to keep going as if nothing happened anyway, where switching to an electric car is just inconvenient on several levels.
If you're not willing to go as far as scientists say we would have to go, it's the same thing, there's barely any difference between doing nothing and doing not enough, at best it will postpone the problem by a decade or two.
If you're willing to do whatever science says it would take, you might want to research how far that actually is and whether or not you're really willing to go THAT far.
Forgive me if I generalize here a bit, precise numbers are hard to come by and are often still not reliable.
Reaching a negative carbon footprint can be done only by planting vast amounts of forest all over the world, meaning there's no room for all the people, all the cities, all the farm land, all the industries.
It would require terminating roughly 90% of our civilisation, including shrinking the worlds population by 90%, abandon all cars and trucks, all airplanes and ships, all military worldwide, moving out people from all regions that require more energy for heating in winter than solar and wind can provide and MUCH more.
I highly doubt even the greenest Greens would be willing to get anywhere remotely close to that.
Sure, if science is right in some 200 years nature will force life on earth into it, because large parts of the world will become uninhabitable.
The latest predictions say, the warming will stop the water cycle in the north atlantic between the equator and the northern seas, which will trap the heat and make it much hotter than previously thought near the equator while nothern areas will become so much colder than they are today, that both ends will become uninhabitable, only a very narrow band of land roughly in the vertical middle of the US, southern Europe and northern China will remain habitable and it might happen much earlier than in 200 years.
Still it will most likely be past the lifetime of all people who are at voting age now, therefore it's not a miracle that 99.9% of the worlds population (including myself) isn't willing to do what science says needs to be done.
