you don't really think electric is a solution do you?  just because it doesn't run on gas doesn't mean it doesn't run on gas.  the electricity that runs a tesla was almost certainly made by burning gas.  yes a industrial combustion turbine is a lot more efficient than a car's but it is still a massive amount of emissions.  
Some people have solar panels and batteries to charge their Tesla's.  The actual electricity generation being clean is a pretty much solved problem.  Even though we have a long ways to go before converting the entire grid to that.    

The bigger concern I'd have with electric cars is whether we can really manufacture those cars without releasing carbon dioxide, or whether we can make them from sources that are abundant, as well as environmentally friendly.

what we really need to do is have a massive culture shift that shames and critiques everyone's every day decisions.  do you really need a straw to get that liquid from a glass to your mouth?   do you really need your cheese slices individually wrapped?  is that poorly executed single use mcdonalds toy really worth it?  
With straws at least, there are non-plastic options.  
Some companies are making hemp straws and seaweed straws that are supposed to be entirely biodegradeable.

The US needs a massive overhaul with their public transport.
