If we replaced all cars with EV's how much greenhouse gas would we actually curb? I know we're shifting the strain of the car producing greenhouse gases tp the power plant. Anybody know the numbers?

Intuitively I always thought the only way of actually making a dent in emissions is to change the way we live by shifting to public transportation. Suburbia is what makes the US the leading greenhouse gas producers and only changing the way we live to be more like cities such as NYC or Tokyo do we actually stand to make a change. We need to reduce the usage of cars to make a meaningful dent in greenhouse gas emissions.
