I guess it is free to manufacture batteries and electric cars run on free electricity that isn't produced anywhere. /sarcasm
The fact is that doing things causes a carbon footprint. changing HOW your car moves simply moves the footprint to something else. I have looked into it and it is more efficient to use solar panels but there is still a cost to producing that electric car, the batteries, the refueling station, blah blah the list goes on.
Maybe we accept the fact that we should consume locally and travel only when necessary? That sucks though admittedly, I really want to go on a cruise with my wife and kids and also a Hawaii trip sounds amazing! I'm a huge conflicted mess!
