I'm sorry, but I can't agree with that. Just because your car isn't physically putting the pollution into the air doesn't mean your car isn't polluting. Unless the electricity came from a hydro dam or wind power, somewhere coal is being burnt to give you that electricity. That's one of the things I don't like about these electric cars. It makes people feel like they're doing something for the environment when really nothing has changed, except for what pipe the pollution comes out of.

***Disclaimer*** OzSome, I don't mean this as a personal attack or anything, it's just my take on those electric cars. Don't want this turning into a "My Dad Just Got Assaulted" thread.
