The making of these cars is horrible... and Driving them can also be bad: Once on the road, the carbon dioxide emissions of EVs depends on the power-generation fuel used to recharge its battery. If it comes mostly from coal-fired power plants, it will lead to about 15 ounces of carbon-dioxide for every mile it is driven—three ounces more than a similar gasoline-powered car. Even without reference to the source of electricity used for battery charging, if an EV is driven 50,000 miles over its lifetime, the huge initial emissions from its manufacture means the EV will actually have put more carbon-dioxide in the atmosphere than a similar-size gasoline-powered car driven the same number of miles.
A vapor car especially a older one if switched to pure vapor will be much cleaner that any HYBRID or pure battery power car.

Rich, in my car, the hybrid system was completely disabled. The battery was removed from the back. It's a conventional 3 cylinder gasoline powered car, with a manual transmission.
