Eh if electrical cars became the norm, then we need to severly update our power infrastructure. Not to mention, this would highly increase the demand for electricity, and most plants are coal and oil...It might not be the all around savior everyone thinks.

Solar panels on every house, Renewable power and Nuclear could solve the generation problem. Also if everybody worked, socialised, sent kids to local schools and shopped locally could reduce the power needed for transportation. Most of the worlds power infrastructure is well over due for being upgraded already due to our unsustainable desire to have more than 2 kids.
