The argument then is that electricity production needs to switch to low carbon sources. If you reduce the CO2 emissions per kwh by half then the breakeven for a Tesla and Leaf drop to 4.1 and 1.35 years.

Or, that we need to hard-switch to carpooling. It will solve congestion, and emissions problems overnight.

My take away from the ride sharing mania is that cities have woefully under invested in small scale public transportation. Instead of a few 40-80 person buses that stop at every stop, you need a large fleet of 10-20 person buses. And larger buses need to be express buses.
