Hmm, most cars carry one person at a time so cargo and hauling could be delegated to another vehicle. Electric vehicles can't replace every gas powered vehicle because of the drain on the grid, but electric cars can be part of a diverse transportation solution depending on the use of the vehicles and the power source.

I don't know what you mean by delegating to another vehicle.

By cargo, I mean groceries, suitcases or schoolbooks, as opposed to passengers, which is people or dogs.

To put it another way, an electric car can carry less than a gas car of the same weight and horsepower.

That's not to say there's no use or place for such cars. It's just that it's fairly limited. They aren't going to save the world.

If I lived somewhere that the traffic made the commute palatable, I wouldn't mind doing it in an Aptera.
