Probably, Big Al. Electric cars still have to be fuelled - the power stations have to be fuelled, and this need will grow exponentially. The start of a solution is to stop driving around all aloney-o, and introduce things like BlaBlaCar, the French-originated ride-sharing app used in many countries - it works something like AirBnB, in the sense that driver and drivee have profiles you can inspect on the website; the person getting a lift pays a fee to cover fuel, part of which goes to the website hosting the service. I first heard of this a few years ago when a friend was going from (if I remember right) Brittany to Lyon and had picked up a lift on the site. And of course all cities need a safe and protected network of cycling infrastructure so that people can ride bikes for the shorter journeys - under, say, 8km, which takes slow me about three-quarters of an hour of pleasant pootling along, stopping to pick up a bit of shopping and chat to a friend or to admire the swans on the canal, or to share remarks on the weather with other people at traffic lights. So different from the fraught, lonely, tense car commute.
