Even if all electricity for electric cars would be produced by diesel generators, electric cars would still make less CO2 emissions because they are more efficient with using the energy. But it's the environmental cost of manufacturing the batteries which is setting electric cars questionable at the moment.

But this is getting a bit off topic.
