There are 3 power grids in the US. Not ONE of them could support a fully EV reality given the demands of charging at peak capacity.
The constant, frenetic push for EV is just automakers pivoting to the next profit node; it has nothing to do with whether we can, or should be creating fleets of EVs.
What we really need is mass public transportation. Electric trains and trolleys make far more sense, and allow for cities to be rebuilt for human beings to live in them, with walkable centers and businesses catered to foot traffic.
See, this is why we are doomed.

They are right. We need all cars to be EVs, but way less cars. We will not EV our way out of climate collapse.
