First, I think the cost of building these tunnels will result in cuts in government funded organizations and institution, second I think the physical act of building them could run the risk of uprooting ecosystems underground and displacing those organisms if the tunnels were to go long distanes through untouched land and lastly I think there should be actions taken before jumping to this because not everyone is going to be for the idea of travelling in these tunnels and so I think if small actions leading up to this were being taken the tunnels may be more successful.
I also agree with you that it will encourage people towards electric car but, as you said, it can be a negative impact towards ecosystems underground and cuts in government funds. Having electric cars is good but making tunnels underground seem a little unnecessary as there can be a much better way for people to get to there location. You could instead get a train and arrive at an area that is close to your location and then walk to that location. To me the track seems like a cool idea but unnecessary as there are different ways, that don't cost a lot of money, to avoid traffic jams.
