Just how environmentally friendly are electric vehicles?

Hey all,

I just had to share this with you, remember we had some discussions about electric car, and many people still seem to think that we would be just shifting the problem. Well, the research has now been done, and looking at LCA of the whole electric car, including the batteries. You can find the article, very interesting outcomes: Just how environmentally friendly are electric vehicles?

Obviously, electric cars are winning the fight, even though researchers had only looked at coal, nuclear and gas electric power, and also they assumed that electric technology would remain same, and also assumed current oil prices.
What do you guys think?
