Opel Ampera Electric Vehicle Heading for Geneva in March For those who think electric cars are just as polluting as any normal car - think again. The electric car in Europe, uses non-carbon nuclear/wind/hydro for a good portion of it's fuel. Even when you factor the current carbon-powered powerplants in the UK, you will get 62 g/km which is lower than any of the most efficient petrol/diesel engines by nearly half. Can you make petrol at home to run your car? Well, you can make electricity via solar panels/wind turbines at home and charge your car truly zero emission and carbon-free. Another thing to factor is that it moves the pollution from the inner city, which improves air quality in cities. More importantly, it is much easier to improve the efficiency of a dozen or so power stations then improve the efficiency of the millions of cars on the road today. Think also about how much motor oil is wasted by cars as refuse. It costs the environment as electric cars do not use motor oil. Do you want a world that goes to war for oil to power our cars? As for manufacturing costs (shipping batteries) - give me a break. Do you honestly think the car you bought was produced 100% from domestic parts?
