Issue becomes: Where does the electricity come from? Sure, you're cutting smog in the local city. But if there's a coal plant chugging away all night making electricity to charge these electric vehicles, total pollution isn't lower. You're just making it somebody else's problem. Now if we had a lot more modern nuclear power, that would be zero-emissions.

I'll take it if they include a diesel engine or a hybrid where I can drive 800 miles a day and switch over to EV mode when I get to the city :D
