As an ELECTRICAL ENGINEER, I can tell you that electric cars are not viable
Either short term or long term, electric cars are a pipe dream. Conversion of electrical energy to mechanical energy in an automobile is highly inefficient. And most sources used to charge the batteries will remain fossil powered for a long time unless we allow new nuclear power plants to be built.
GM has shown they are truly government motors- providing an expensive complex solution for a problem that didn't exist.
