This push for EV seems to be very popular with all parts of society - gov/politicians, industry, influential investors - with potentially vested interests and the media also (any publicity is good publicity). At this point, any aggressive direction change from humanity has to be thought through well about environmental impact - of course no one has the incentive to do that and hence the gov has to pick it up. EV is probably being justified as "loss leader" in terms of environmental impact - it has to be net bad for the environment right now, but eventually better for the environment. That's not good enough.
