One of the huge pluses of electric cars (besides the obvious elimination of humanity-threatening climate change gases) is that cities will be less choked with car exhaust smog. Living in a major US city, whose air is quite clean compared to many other places in the world, still means you get exposed to constant facefulls of car exhaust, truck smoke, and particulates every time you set foot outside. That's not healthy on a direct human level, let alone a climate change level. We're at the cusp of getting rid of this miserable pollution completely, and maybe even having truly clean air in our major cities, in our lifetimes--why invent a technology to allow us to keep the smog and particulates around even longer?
