F1 doesn’t flatter the battery brigade.

I mean, when the electricity it uses is produces, pollution still happens, just not "right from your car"?

That way you have a fair basis of comparison, you know, apples to apples and all that jazz. We should have built more Nuclear power plants and created a nuclear waste recycling program. A simple, clean, efficient EV that wont run out of juice because of its on-board gas generator. The car will simply fall away if GM folds.
