How can people seriously call electric cars as clean?
What is an electric car made from how can you say any of those materials are mined cleanly? How is an electric car clean when it runs on coal fired electricity?

Well, at the end of the day, if the energy isn't coming from solar or wind power, then it's no different, the only difference is the batteries are not going to bode well for the environment, and cost as much as a new car in of themselves.

Once constructed, the car itself - while in use - does not itself produce greenhouse gasses. *** HOWEVER: the car is powered by electrical power plants, many of which DO produce greenhouse gasses. *** AS WE CONVERT from "dirty" electric power plants to "green" electric power plants, the typical electric vehicle will have less and less impact on the environment. *** Still: the batteries can have a serious impact on the environment (much more so than - by analogy - a gas tank from an internal combustion engine vehicle). *** SO: in fact, the verdict is still out regarding how "green" an electric vehicle is compared to an internal combustion engine vehicle. We SHOULD expect, though, that the electric vehicle will become more and more green over time, at a much faster rate than a comparable internal combustion engine vehicle.

People call gasoline cars clean after they wash them. Everyone who posted so far seems to be forgetting water/dam power and nuclear power. I have an idea why don't YOU INVENT ONE since you claim to know all about it.
