EV's are one technology breakthrough in batteries away from making gas cars obsolete. EV's are more powerful, break less, and are easier to repair (less moving parts), but the only major drawback is battery technology (charging time, lifespan, relatively risky).

Cars just need a power source to make the wheels turn, and that can come from anywhere. It's important to separate this technological breakthrough from "climate change". We can still have new tech just because it's better and not because the world is about to end. That said, electricity would have to be cheaper and the grid would have to be much more reliable and provide more output, which is doable with nuclear, but that is a different subject matter.
