Michael, http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/sns-201202141045usnewsusnwr201202130213electriccarsfeb14,0,7790660.story The above link is a news story on the same paper. I gather you didn't have time to really read the actual Blog analysis of this, which is very extensive and insightful? It doesn't really matter what kind of electric vehicle. When I was there 8 years ago I saw a lot of small car-like vehicles, electric trikes, electric 2 seaters like the Western "Smart Car" and so on. You must of seen them when you were there recently. The point of the article is that given China's almost unregulated coal burning, 700 GWs of it, that the vehicles as the destination for all this coal generated power, add absolutely nothing to the health of the country and in fact take away from it. The author of the blog is a chemist and health scientist. He doesn't like coal much, which you will get from reading this. The author doesn't like cars and hates the US car culture immensely. So he's taking shots at the idea that the problem is what kind of vehicles we use if the generation for EVs is fossil fuel, which it is in the US to the tune of about 70%.
