Sorry, not true. Everything you talked about in your post is far better than the alternative. Leads to more striped bass in the end. The majority of people I know are renewable energy and earth loving crowd because it makes sense. They also like to drive on beaches to fish so I am not buying into your divisive crap that we are better off with current energy use.

The info below considers pollution from charging an ev vs pollution from int. comb. engines.
"Because California has a mix of cleaner fuels and renewable sources, several studies have concluded that improvements in air quality can be achieved easily by plugging in to EVs.
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) estimates that EVs operating in the Los Angeles Basin would produce 98 percent fewer hydrocarbons, 89 percent fewer oxides of nitrogen, and 99 percent less carbon monoxide than ICE vehicles.
In a study conducted by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, EVs were significantly cleaner over the course of 100,000 miles than ICE cars. The electricity generation process produces less than 100 pounds of pollutants for EVs compared to 3000 pounds for ICE vehicles. "
