    Yes, this is a good idea. It would also mean having enough charging stations available, but if the government can allocate money for that, it shouldn't be a problem.

    Yes I think so as it would help combat fossil fuel emissions, reduce congestion, etc. However, it would require significant investments and changes in infrastructure.

Entire industries and infrastructure would need to be changed to support this transition. This also may need to be gradual or people may risk losing their jobs. Also of note is that the lithium needed for electric car batteries is mined in a fashion that is also environmentally harmful.  Less

    This depends on the economic implications of this and environmental impacts that electric car batteries have.

More research would have to be done to determine which electric vehicles specifically people should be encouraged to switch over to, since not all of them may have the intended environmental impact.  Less
