Yes, I can! And none of all these moves to electric cars will make any sense at all until we have nuclear power to provide the electricity. Burning fossil fuels in a stationary power plant is marginally less polluting than doing it directly in an IC engine, but when you factor in generating efficiencies and transmission losses to get the power to the charging station, coupled with the efficiency of the electric propulsion system in the vehicle, you are better off, just buying a car with an IC engine unless you get the juice from a nuke!
