It’s almost surely impossible to replace the global fleet of cars in that time too.

Yes, we are behind schedule, and we can't get there just by replacing ICE cars one for one with electric cars, but there is plenty more we can do.
Living in walkable neighborhoods. Demanding better infrastructure for more than just cars. Working from home if you have a desk job.
And of course personal transport is only part of it. Electricity generation. Industrial precesses like steelmaking, and concrete will need to go carbon neutral as well.
Electric cars will be part of it, though. Those infrastructure changes won't happen overnight, we need all possible options at our disposal, it's not either/or, it's "yes, and."
But it can be done.
