There is still a benefit to having pollution not come out of the tailpipe. When I go for a bike ride or a run and half the cars are EVs, I'm glad (even though I understand the electricity may come from fuel burning elsewhere).

So you trade your health for more pollution for others.

My understanding is that power plants have scrubbers that reduce their environmental impact more than tailpipes. Also, power plants tend to be located in places that are not as heavily populated as neighborhood streets.

If they have scrubbers and if they are placed in non-heavily populated areas.

My point is an electric car a such says not much of environmental benefits.

Take for instance the Nissan e-power. The car drives electric but it uses a combustion engine to load the battery.
