Yeah, they aren't pollution-free. The idea is the electricity it takes to make them go requires a fraction of pollution producing energy to produce. And they aren't spreading pollution everywhere they go. But the myth comes in for all those who do consider electric cars pollution-free. Most who are pushing them forward live in urban/suburban areas where everything they do is supported by the existing infrastructure. In the country I can save energy by walking outside and taking a leak, burn firewood, grow my own vegetables, hunt my own meat, even get water from a spring or purify water from one of the streams running nearby. I have electric heat and I didn't ever think that was considered going green. I try to conserve energy use and that is my biggest downfall
