Sorry, it's not a FoxNews link, you can't just dismiss it because you don't like the source (ostrich syndrome).

Electric cars release MORE toxic emissions than gas-powered vehicles and are worse for the environment, finds shock report | Daily Mail Online

Bear in mind that the Daily Mail is wildly popular in the UK because it’s a scandal rag that will twist the facts of any story to get more sales. This is the paper that launched the garbage about The Villages being a hotbed of STDs with beds full of swingers. Twisted data that gives a false conclusion.

I drive a Prius Prime. That has gasoline engine and batteries I recharge in my garage that will give me about twenty-five miles of driving without the gas engine coming on. That covers most of my driving unless I’m going to the airport or something. As a result, over four years in The Villages, the car is averaging 150 miles per gallon of gas—far better than your golf cart. Given the low cost of electricity here, when I’m running on battery only, it costs me about two cents per mile. If I were to drive to Minneapolis in the winter, starting the car wouldn’t be a problem because it would run on gas until the batteries warm up.
