Hawaii is the only state that produces a significant fraction of its electricity from oil. Something like 40% of continental US electricity is already low-carbon(nuclear, wind, solar) and the bulk of the rest is natural gas, which produces significantly less emissions per unit of energy than diesel. From a CO2 perspective, it is almost certainly better to drive a full electric vehicle, and that will only become more true as we continue to transition production.
