Good point. Unfortunately, (exempting its recent price hike) fossil fuels are still the relatively cheapest sources of energy currently available. Since this is the case, electric-charged type vehicles still suffer from the pollution transfer argument I outlined above..
Maybe if oil stays over $50 a barrel, there would be enough investments in non-fossil based energy that would trigger lower production costs.

Electricity-powered vehicles provide an infrastructure where it's relatively easy to switch to alternative energy sources gradually.
