Electricity is not zero emissions. Much electricity is being produced by diesel or coal powered generators.....even hydro electricity requires some diesel/emissions to build the dam.
Plus ... Battery production technology is NOT clean emissions as advertised ...
Tesla car battery production releases as much C02 as 8 years of gasoline emissions!
On a side note, I retired from a Fortune 500 corporation who once used all battery powered fork trucks in their manufacturing plants. Currently, almost all their trucks now run on natural gas. Even their over the road tractors to jokey products between warehouses run on natural gas.
