I don't know too many people who can shell out the dough for an all electric car that they can't drive from LA to Orange county and back (say 80 miles), let alone drive anywhere else. It means you need to have at least two cars, one for around town, and one if you want to go anywhere else. In LA you get a lot of electricity from Indian power plants on reservations near Four Corners, and they have few air pollution controls on those power plants. BTW, the air pollution blows back towards LA.
