in the UK, where more than half of the electricity generated comes from burning fossil fuels, electric cars are only really moving the pollution from one place to another.
Bit out of date with your data, Giles. At no time in the last year has coal generation exceeded 28% of generation output. We currently run around 50% gas, 20% nuke, 10% renewables, 20% coal, but obviously the actual balance varies according to the available output from renewables. Right at this minute it's <10% coal.
