> Just curious, how do you know that your car produces less pollution? This data is available: http://www.eia.gov/electricity/annual/html/epa_08_01.html http://www.eia.gov/electricity/annual/html/epa_08_01.html Even in the absolute worst case, energy generation from fossil fuels at a power plant is significantly more efficient than the internal combustion engine, even after taking transmission and charging losses into account. In reality, EVs tend to be sold in areas with high renewable penetration. And about 40% of EV owners have rooftop solar systems. The biggest argument for EVs in general is that they are fuel agnostic. Transitioning to EVs right now means decoupling transportation from fuel, which means the fleet automatically becomes cleaner as we continue to build renewable capacity and phase out fossil fuels.
