Electric cars are not an environmental magic pill. At least in their current form. There's a net benefit by most accounts, from a ghg perspective, but I'm not convinced there's a net benefit from an overall environmental perspective.
There is also huge positive net benefit from an air quality perspective because you are displacing emissions of NOx, fine particulates, VOCs, and PAHs, carcinogens, etc. from densely populated urban centers to sparsely populated rural areas where the power plants are located.
