people who think electric vehicles are the best option for the environment/earth are the same people who think using paper "kills trees".
"renewable" and "clean" are the things that should matter.
-most of our electricity doesn't come from renewable sources right now
-Clean in terms of use in the final product and "clean" in terms of production both need to be considered. Lithium batteries are not the best option which is why the "big boys" have been slow to adopt it. Hydrogen was a true clean solution but has its own problems with development.
Personally I like the hybrids, 25-30 miles of electric driving (to work, around town in traffic...) but the gas option for long hauls. Would be nice to see a hybrid M someday with electric motor powering front wheels and gas for the rear (but I think normally that works the other way around).
