Then also notice that this electricity comes from somewhere. Yeah, you plug it in and your electric company supplies, but where does that come? Usually from burning coal

yep these are also good reasons as why this project has been bohicotted

as for the energy used, if i were rich enough i would obviously not use the electric company energy since i know it comes from a not clean reasource. i would rather install solar panels on my house or make deal with anther company which does use clean energy. it pointless to use an electric car if the pollution is just transferred and not eliminated.
