Ideally you would set the oil companies against the car companies. Electric cars are a bandaid on a bleeding stump. We need mass transportation and efficient cities rather than suburbs. Busses, trains, and efficient last mile solvers like bikes are the goal.

Yes. And also there's no way to reasonably do that anytime soon; our infrastructure just can't turn on that dime. Electric cars are the bridge, particularly when charged via renewables.
