Electric cars aren't pollution-free; they have to get their energy from somewhere.

I'm glad to see that BMW is bringing an electric car to market. That's cool.

Electric cars are coal-powered cars. Their carbon emissions can be worse than gasoline-powered cars.

I had never been able to get a car that said how much I cared about the environment until I drove electric.

I drove an electric car for seven years because of its advanced technology, not because I have any concerns about energy resources. I have none at all. And when environmentalists say that global warming is dangerous, unprecedented and that we'll have a tipping point for atmospheric carbon dioxide, it's just nonsense.

I bought my first electric car in 1970. Its top speed was 15 mph and it had just a 15 mile range - it was essentially a golf cart with a windshield wiper and a horn.

I drive an electric car.

I think there are more politicians in favor of electric cars than against. There are still some that are against, and I think the reasoning for that varies depending on the person, but in some cases, they just don't believe in climate change - they think oil will last forever.

I probably wouldn't be a good spokesman for an electric car, because I'll still get on a private jet, and one flight on a private jet undoes all my electric-car good deeds.
