In all the reading I have done. Electric vehicles just USE LESS POWER than gasoline ones.
From a pure efficiency point of view, they are MUCH better. However, that electricity does have to come from somewhere.
Electric vehicles are NOT pollution-free, but do pollute much less.
We definitely need to get away from coal and oil.
We use renewably generated electricity at my house. The motorcycle charges off that (although it has just been sitting in the garage all winter - Til tommorow, right Doax!?)
And the electric car will charge off that same wind and biogas-generated electricity once I get it built.
Just think about what kind of power plant you would want in your backyard. I would take solar panels or a windmill over an oil refinery or coal power plant any day.
