Electric vehicles is part of the solution. The rest of the solution is better mass transit, including effective regional trains. Initially these will have to be subsidized (gasoline taxes is a fitting source). As systems grow out and become convenient, ridership will increase and the need for subsidies will decrease and hopefully end.
I lived in Europe, which has close to continent-wide great mass transit, so I've seen it in action. Never wanted a car. Those few times I needed a car it was cheaper to take a taxi than buy and maintain a car.
I live in Omaha, which has crappy mass transit. I'd love to be able to take a bus to work, but can't.
