Same here.
Though theoretically electric cars generally are supposed to have higher energy efficiency compared to any internal combustion engine (modern ICEs of today only top out at 25% max.). That's from an energy consumption point of view though.
In regards, to environmental issues, electric batteries contain harmful chemicals. That and the process of producing the batteries still emits more pollutants which outweigh any benefits that it offers in pollution reduction (as what deathrazor said).
In short, MORE WORK needs to be done to fix this problem and improve on it.
