The only benefit of electric cars is if you're a bliss ninny and figure if you don't have an exhaust pipe on your vehicle, you car not creating an environmental impact.
You'll conveniently ignore that more hydrocarbons have to be burned by the power plant you can't see and those wires being warmed up as a percentage of the power is lost in transmission and that battery production requires mining and nasty chemicals because an electric car makes you feel good.
