I'm hopeful that electric cars are the saviour, and don't know of any reasons to think otherwise. It's more that last time we had the eco-friendly saviour of Diesel Cars given to us, it was also rosy, until it wasn't. For example, British cities have way-too-high levels of NO2 pollution, and this is usually attributed to diesels. And not nice to live through, truth be told.

Britain has great difficulties making any restrictions on motor vehicles. Only London has any significant restrictions. Look at the map [1] where many mid-sized German, Dutch and some Italian towns restrict old/polluting cars from being used. Meanwhile, British cities talk a lot, but delay any implementation until the following year. Fuel duty has stayed the same for 10 years, but public transport fares have risen every year.
