Philippe Lavoie and the E-car

The ELECTRIC car is back this year at the L.A auto show!   I've noticed some interesting things about them...

This article explains http://jalopnik.com/5964070/why-do-all-these-electric-cars-have-grilles and the next one is just a quick video about the show and E-cars this year:

    I think a lot of the e car promotion forgets that electricity comes from coal and nuclear.

    But emissions on filling a battery are STILL lower! Imagine how much power and fuel it takes to get oil out of the ground, processed, refined, and then shipped from North Africa to Toronto.. Your hydro, coal, and nuclear power doesn't have nearly as big of a trek!

      Its all about your image at the end of the day, if you truly wanted to lower emissions you would get a 'Flintstone' type car. But then you couldn't brag about your hybrid or how you don't rely on oil, just how bad your feet hurt. We already have a great e-vehicle in my opinion, and we continue to overlook it. Good old public transit!
