All electric vehicles?
I guess electrically powered vehicles are coming but seems to me they are presently only a rich person's toy with present technology. By that I mean, they're only good for around town and short trips ...

Back to that post about an EV superior to the new Corolla. Lets compare costs. The Corolla around $20 to 22 K, maybe 17 or less for a nice used one in a couple of years. I paid 17 for my Focus last April. Any EV I know about; starting close to 30K and much more for some. The $8000 price difference would buy around 3000 gallons or 90000 miles in the Corolla. And I could jump in it and drive cross country with no worry about range. And I bet the exhaust is pretty darn clean.
Today's cars have pretty clean exhausts when it comes to toxic emissions but I think the point is burning 3000 gallons of gas puts 30 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere.
Yes that Corolla exhaust is not as clean as you think it is:W
