I use an electric golf cart for probably 90+% of my local driving. My gas car sits in the garage but I will keep it for years as long as it is reliable. Since I have a second gas car I can see that I would replace one with electric that I intended to drive only in my hometown.
I think, because of the carbon associated with the manufacturing of the batteries and the carbon from the production of electric that my gas car would probably be responsible for less carbon than the new electric one. I would be driving less than 5000 miles a year.
