It does however piss me off when someone acts like they're doin the environment a favor by running an electric car, charged via coal-fired power plant, and producing thereby far, FAR more pollution-per-energy than a blasted petrol sucking SUV, just not from THEIR tailpipe....

Let's say the skeptics are right to some extent, though, and
that EVs provide only marginal environmental benefits. Upgrades in
power-plant technology, along with the creation of more alternative
energy sources, would still make every EV cleaner. As green-car
enthusiasts are so fond of saying, it's a lot easier to control
emissions at a few power plants than at millions of tailpipes.

But if you break down the numbers, EVs still come out ahead of cars
featuring internal combustion engines, especially in terms of carbon dioxide emissions.
