True. This article is pure BS. Even in US where only 18% of electric energy is renewable (plus some from nuclear energy), emissions results from EV are not so impressive.

In average country, new generation of hybrid cars from Toyota may be much more effective in terms of CO2 and other harmful emissions, compared to pure electric vehicles.

And all inconveniences of EVs, like lack of charging stations, limited range, long charging time, are basically gone.

Sure, future will be electric, but not with current mix of power generation and state of energy storage.
