It's not just that, but the administration has set a goal to become 100% electric by 2035. The fact that that will not change the over all emission output worldwide aside, how about the millions of people that are driving 25 year old cars that can't afford a new car? Is the plan for the government to buy cars for everyone that can't afford one?

Another issue is not simply access to charging stations but the length of time required to recharge. Are people going to be willing to wait for hours at a recharging station while they are filling up? Filling your car with gas take ten minutes. So far charging times for electrics are hours.
