All cars pollute. EV's just move that pollution to the batteries both making them and disposing of them and power generation but it gives people the warm fuzzy feeling that they aren't polluting themselves because they aren't burning gas to drive them.

I drove my old neighbours Volt and even that was interesting to drive and seeing the technology and it's no Tesla. What keeps me out of electric cars is the cost of buying them, the thought of what kind of night mare that electronic stuff is going to be long term not to mention repair cost and that they haven't made any I like yet.
