I don't dispute all the evidence that electric cars aren't as "green" as they say they are but one nice thing about them is they produce at least somewhat less in the way of emissions. Yes, this is offset by the manufacturing drawbacks, etc. But I am talking about the air that I actually breathe on a regular basis.
I can tell you that I really like being passed by a hybrid - or especially an all electric - when I am riding my bicycle. On the other hand, the plentiful supply of Suburbans and full-sized pickups in town make me want to hold my breath as I struggle up the hills around here.
