I can't get on the electric vehicle bandwagon. In the little research I've done they aren't really as eco friendly as they would have you think. To manufacture - especially the batteries - the waste and materials used to make them are pretty caustic and not eco friendly at all. And electricity still has to be produced to charge the car. You've only shifted where the pollution and emissions comes from.

Careful now - you're letting the facts get in the way of a good story!

Years ago I owned a Ford Focus ST that was a PZEV (partial zero emission vehicle). Going from memory here, so it might be a little skewed but the point is valid; Car & Driver did a test on it at the time and on the bad greenhouse gasses, it produced fewer bad gases per mile than a fully electric vehicle charged off the California grid.

While electric may be zero emissions, the plants that produce it aren't.
