Where are we going to get the power to run all those electric cars?

Nuclear, wind, solar. Besides, building a carless society isn't exactly emission free either. For that one would need higher housing density, which means more construction. Concrete production is a major source of carbon emissions.
Really cars are not any more of a problem than other forms of consumption.

You still need all the infrastructure that electric cars rely on.
You'd get rid of private cars, not cars categorically. E.g. you could order a taxi for cheap and the taxi operator could have a car that lasts for 30 years instead of just 15.
The "eat bugs" remark was rude and uncalled for.
No its not. How about we first just get rid of the coal power plants and replace them with nuclear/renewables? Then we can just have electric cars. Why is it that climate activists so often ignore the biggest polluters, while putting most of their energy into making the common man make sacrifices? "Get rid of cars, eat bugs, etc." Its almost as if its controlled opposition from the fossil fuel industry itself.
