The three parts to the "why electric vehicle" question and answer in my mind

1. Resources?
2. Global warming?
3. Necessary new car quality and features?
                  Answer: Tesla Model 3

If you drive a car you have two choices for the energy necessary: gasoline (or diesel) or electricity. Of course, electricity can have its source from either or both renewable and non-renewable sources, but all gas is finite, non-renewable and carbon-based. As you can see from the chart, renewable energy production has increased but not as much or as fast as has non-renewable petroleum, natural gas and coal. 

For me, the answer was Tesla. Not only is it highly efficient, but being electric can use electricity generated from fossil generators or renewable sources like solar, wind and thermal. Here in Colorado much of our electricity is from coal, but even so the efficient Tesla has only about 25% the carbon load of a gasoline-powered car, and the per-mile cost is even lower.
Further, renewable electricity is much more efficient and cheap to transport than gas, not requiring mining, gas or oil pipelines, supertankers, gas stations, the whole infrastructure required to s enable gasoline powered cars.
