Actually Germany produces 30% of its electricity demand via renewable energy sources[1]. The share of sources that vary in intensity during the day (wind, solar) would even be higher for electric cars, as they can be charged overnight, when the demand is lower than the supply. Anyways, even for the part that comes from coal, there's still an advantage for big cities. The fossil fuel isn't burnt where people live and breathe, but outside of the city, increasing health considerably.
