EVs use electricity, so one of the arguments against them is that they move pollution from the tailpipe to the smokestack and they encourage mountain top removal... These have been debunked, EV pollute far less and there is off-peak surplus generation that could power 40-60% of US cars. However, rather than arguing the numbers, there is an even better solution.
If you live in Oregon and own a home, SolarCity is now offering solar leases. You get solar panels on your house and pay exactly the same rate as you are currently paying your utility for standard grid power. This is the same deal (and from the same company) that Intel used when they put solar panels on the Jones Farm 4 building.
