It's a difficult problem for sure. But I don't think we'll ever come up with a truly "clean" personal vehicle like the cars we know today. I think the solution would have to be something like better, cleaner public transit, encouraging people to live in walking/biking distance from their work, encouraging remote work, and reducing car usage overall as much as possible.

Electric cars are better than regular fossil fuel cars, yes. But the article talks about "stopping" climate change, not just making it slightly less bad.
