I had fun with a neighbor who'd just bought an electric Smart Car (LOL! "Smart Car" - the name itself is an oxymoron). Our conversation went like this:
Me: "So - what's it run on?"
Him: [proudly] "It's an all-electric!"
Me: "Ah! So it runs on coal."
Him [sputtering] "No...no! It's electric powered!"
I then broke it to him that the juice he gets from his outlet comes from the power company, which is coal-fired. He wasn't too thrilled to hear that.

Of course, depending on where he charges, it could also be nuke powered, natural gas powered or hydro-electric powered!
