Starting to go electric now means: - every electric car has no local emissions, so it has a direct impact from day one - if the grid gets cleaner, electric cars will pic that up and get cleaner too - even at 60% coal, the electric car has a slight advantage, as electric cars are way more efficient, especially in congested traffic, than combustion engines. - getting all cars electric will take 30 years, from the day no more combustion engines are sold, it still takes 10-15 years, so this needs to be done in parallel with cleaning up electricity production.
