Crawl before you walk IMO. Give us more years of well-done hybrids, tiny turbo engines that are super fuel efficient with tiny electric motors to run when the ICE would be inefficient. Use electricity to supplement until it's fully time to replace (when there is obviously less cost to the environment).
That's my take on it anyway.

This.
And take time to build up the infrastructure, and clean ways of generating the electricity these cars will consume. All we’re doing now is shifting the CO2 emissions from cars to power plants. Net balance doesn’t change. Not to mention the damage done by mining to get these rare earth materials needed for batteries.
