All that aside it’s an impossibility to mine the minerals and materials to build enough solar panels or batteries to go all electric. Simply not possible mathematically. It would take something like thousands of years at the current rate of mining.
Add to that the cost and time needed to expand generation, transmission and charging station infrastructure and it becomes absurd. And since batteries are not recyclable, even if you could mine enough minerals to produce enough batteries for an all electric fleet, what do you do in 10 years when all those batteries crap out?
This isn't rocket science, but it does require a smigin of critical thinking.
