This ain't going to fix anything. Transportation is only 13% of the EU's total carbon emissions. And all cars and trucks being electric won't even get rid of all of that 13% unless the power grid is 100% renewable. That power has to come from somewhere. Furthermore, a new electric car that is replacing an existing gas car has to make back its manufacturing costs before it becomes greener, further increasing the futility of this measure.

And there's the rest of the world who are less green to begin with.

At this point, barring a technological miracle or nuclear holocaust, nothing we do is going to prevent run away climate change. We will simply have to be prepared to deal with the consequences. Electric cars will and should replace gas cars, but there isn't any point in trying to force it when the technology is still too expensive and flawed.

The best approach would be to take a step back and let electrification happen at the pace the tech is developing and focus green efforts on power grids, manufacturing, construction, and reducing consumerism.
