They run on electricity, and that means they don’t belch out loads of fumes into the atmosphere.

But that electricity has to be generated in a power station before it can be used in the car, and nine times out of ten, you can be sure that it was generated from fossil fuels.

So surely, electric cars are still responsible for polluting the planet.

That’s just about the dumbest, most poorly thought through answer I’ve ever read.
