While there are some dirtier aspects to electric cars, which are generally ignored by their fans, they're still considerably cheaper and cleaner to operate than their gas powered counterparts.
The problems are generally in power storage right now.
I like the idea of a plug-in hybrid, which gives you the resilience of a gas powered car, but may never use that powerplant on shorter trips. Yeah, you still have the added complexity of two power systems, but it beats the heck out of the marginally more efficient ones of the last few years.
