If not in cities, where do your electricity plants exist?

You are right in that electric cars only relocate the pollution and energy consumption, but it still has to happen somewhere.

Of course, but a single power plant will pump out less pollution than the equivalent millions of car engines.

By moving this source of pollution out of the cities to an unpopulated location you're saving the health of millions of people.
