The world isn't ruled by ideology or simple formulas. It's all details and proportion; with the best solutions usually emergent and as specialized as the problems.
If you have a marvelous idea or insight into how electric cars could or should be made, and it's an insight that could make a real difference, then you might very well feel that you "owe" it to society to get in there and make that difference. If you would be just another foot soldier in an army of engineers that seems to be pushing a rope, then stick with what you love.
You do owe an obligation to society, but also have an obligation to yourself, and your family if you have one. Making the call is up to you, and not something that a simple formula or ideological precept can provide.
