So her car is "good for the environment"? How does she recharge her car? Electricity from her wall socket? Where does that come from? How is it generated?

Can more power plants be built to handle the increased need if we end our use of oil?

2 words. Pipe dream. We don't have enough power plants as it is.

Can we include the pollution caused by her burning house?

It's not that simple. What do you think uses more energy a 6000 lb SUV or a 2000 lb electric car with a 15 hp electric motor?

Consider at least a ten fold increase in batteries, their manufacture, disposal etc.
