If you mean someone is burning coal upstream, I suppose so, but the
idea is that big centralized power generation is both cleaner and more
efficient than most vehicles, so if the resulting consumption is
clean, it's a net winner.
Y'know, I don't get it, if you asked anybody five years ago what would
make sense for vehicles when oil reached $100/barrel, they'd have said
all sorts of alternatives could come online at those prices. Maybe
even hydrogen.

The downside, of course, is that PRODUCING hydrogen in quantity is not
generally a zero-emission process (unless you have substantial hydro- or
nuclear-generated electricity available).

"...this is a true zero-emission vehicle, yet it looks, operates and
drives like anything else on the road. There is simply no more
realistic a peek into the possibly green future of the automobile, not
the theoretical Chevrolet Volt from General Motors, nor the electric
Tesla billionaire-toy, and not even the Holy Green Grail of the plug-in
Prius..."
