The liberals do not understand that the electricity to charge an electric car , has to be generated in a power plant. And in many areas, a coal fired power plant is generating the electricity to recharge the “pollution free” electric car.
What is also not mentioned here, is how much does the electricity cost the driver, to recharge the car? Is it comparable to the cost of gasoline as a fuel? More?

Electricity comes out of the wall outlet. Everybody knows that. DUH!!!!
Efficient electric cars like the leaf get about 5 miles per kWh. There are charging losses so consider 4 miles per kWH or 3 cents a mile with electricity at 12 cents / kWh. Meanwhile a 30 mpg car will cost 8 cents a mile at current gas prices.
