The current VW "Diesel scandal" has substantially accelerated the transition to EVs...or better said...it has accelerated the awareness at car manufacturers that a transition is necessary sooner than later. It will take years though, probably decades.

Carbon goals were almost achievable with diesels but since there is a crackdown on loose compliance, the automakers are forced to accept an electric future.  Strange how China, the gross polluter it is, is leading the charge.  Perhaps it has something to do with China controlling a significant portion of the supply chain required to produce EVs.
