Global climate change is an imminent problem. The West coast is currently on fire, Germany is being flooded, and there was just a hurricane in Florida. The "best" solution would be investment in green energy production and a carbon tax credit but that's been heavily fought against by the entrenched fossil fuel interests. An achievable solution would be to subsidize EVs and building out EV infrastructure and fixing the grid.
The worse case scenario for EV is cold weather locations with dirty electricity. However, it's not cold all year unless you're in Alaska, and coal plants will get replaced as they get old. And if you look at the south, or the coasts, you can find a lot of solar power and wind power potential that currently isn't exploited.
The EV mandate doesn't kick in now. Within the next decade, hopefully EVs will become cheaper as mass market manufacturers start making EVs, and the infrastructure is built out.
