Assuming this is a good faith question, the pollution generated by ICE cars driving 1+ metre away from me pollutes the air I breathe in a much more concentrated way than the pollution generated by a power plant 10+ miles away. Air pollution in cities is a real problem that nobody really talks about because there's no easy solutions. I don't drive an EV, because it's not practical / affordable for me yet. I hope this changes soon.
