The transportation uses huge amount of energy. In case of massive usage of EV, the power generation capabilities must double and the grid needs to be reworked in major way.
Since they are in the same time shutting fossil fuel and atom, the Earth has to be covered by solar and windmills.
Here goes the farming, forest and national lands!

Even Elon Musk agrees with you and has said so. It is just never going to happen. The whole concept is barking up the wrong tree and just not possible.

The best part of windmills, is they use more energy than they produce. Add in the fact that they take many acres permanently out of any farmland production, and it is clearly a Cluster Foxtrot.

I wonder how much energy is needed just to make and transport the concrete to stabilize them?
