The problem is, that synthetic fuels used in a combustion engine mean like a factor of 10 of electricity used for the same distance driven compared to an electric car. This has a cost and an environment impact, especially if the electricity could be used somewhere else with higher efficiency, like heating homes.
It also wouldn't change a bit about the car exhaust problems. Also, we are approaching quickly the point where electric cars are cheaper to manufacture than combustion engine cars.
