Yeah, but the electricity comes out of the power lines. Ax any lefty driving a rechargeable car. Then argue with them that there is a power plant on the other end......
To be fair, Arrowhead, the efficiency of an electric car is vastly superior to that of a combustion engine, even after issues of transmission, storage, etc., are taken into account. Ironically, however, what electric cars promise is what environmentalists hate most: a nuclear-powered transportation system.
