Hi!

Electric cars are WAY more efficient, and have MUCH less total air pollution than an ICE car.

That is because the cost and pollution to create the electricty to power the car is MUCH less than the cost and pollution to create and burn the gasoline in an ICE car. And, with renewable (wind/solar/+) power becoming more prevalent, the total cost and pollution of the electrical power they produce will be even less than our currently produced electricity from coal.

PS-There are LOTS of alternative energy car people that DESPISE the hybrids, and other non-100% electric cars, and say we are wasting our time and money developing them, and should put ALL of our efforts into 100% electric vehicles.
