At the place I work, they plug in their electric cars and the smoke stack from the power plant is 100 yards behind the charging stations! Atleast they feel good about believing that they are zero emissions,and everything now a days is about feelings!

And we now have ( at least in America) brainwashed youth that REALLY have no clue
That run on gasoline when the battery goes down. And the dumb asses didn't even design the gas engine to recharge the batteries when the engine runs. Brake regen recharging only.

You may be next to a coal station, but coal fueled power plants generate about 20% of American power, nowhere close to 90%.
And in that case who pays for the electricity? Do they pay for the gas for your vehicle?

True, I wondered why Bob Lutz didn't add engine charging to that car.That run on gasoline when the battery goes down. And the dumb asses didn't even design the gas engine to recharge the batteries when the engine runs. Brake regen recharging only.

May not be all green power right now but eventually it will be. Until then you can criticize new tech all you want while everyone else moves on. Rooftop solar is so cheap right now it takes LESS than 10 years for payback on new solar systems that will power your house and your vehicle. My new solar array is being installed in about 3 weeks. I'll power all my electrical needs and cut my natural gas consumption by 90%. I'm not switching to solar because of any green initiatives. I'm doing it because of the way we are taxed on any fossil fuels we use and mostly because I get free all-I-can-use electricity.
