Unlike traditional internal combustion engine vehicles that emit pollutants such as carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and particulate matter, EVs produce no emissions during operation. The electric drivetrain is highly efficient in converting stored energy from batteries into motion, minimizing energy waste.

Scientist have confirmed that unlike gasoline cars, plug-ins will get cleaner as they get older -- because our power grid is getting cleaner. Only PHEVs and battery EVs get cleaner as they get older - because the electric grid gets cleaner every decade. But theyve needed definitive proof that PHEVs wont increase pollution.

Wont all these cars require us to build even more power plants? The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) estimates that the current power grid could handle many tens of millions of cars plugging in at off-peak hours before wed have any capacity issues [See EPRI article PDF ]. How about a car-mounted wind-generator?

Such cities would become self-contained units, their buildings gleaning energy from the powerful weather systems sweeping across their roofs and feeding it down to homes below and vehicles in the streets. Every scrap of waste food, garden trimmings and even sewage would be used to ferment gas.
