While EVs are better on the pollution / energy consumption front than the regular fossil fuel cars, using them to imagine it will solve our energy woes is false comfort. It is actually like using a pallet gun to commit suicide in preference to a shotgun - you die anyways, but with the 'better' option, it is long drawn and excruciatingly painful.
On the scale that the global economic activity has reached, nothing can be sustainable. We will eventually have to pipe down our activities to go back to pre-industrial age levels in our consumption of resources in terms of volume and usage pattern, but I doubt the world retains enough sanity to be able to reverse the course of the explosive uncontrolled cancerous growth that we have seen in the last century.
