Exactly what I don't get with these 'Plug-In' cars. Unless there is a dedicated wind or solar source on the vehicle owner's property, the 'Plug-In' car is no better than gas or diesel vehicles. The electricity has to come from somewhere and in some cases, it'll come from the dirtiest of all sources, coal.
