Sure, electric cars are an improvement, but they aren't the end-all-be-all of climate change. The bulk of the problem is out of the hands of individual choice.
Yes, there's definitely more to be done. Electric cars go hand in hand with moving to renewable electricity sources as well. It's easier to change what's on the other end of the grid than it is to stick solar panels, wind turbines, and nuclear reactors on cars.
I see the "well your electric car is just burning coal/oil/gas anyway" argument repeated pretty often despite being an oversimplification and usually wrong.
