Best Answer

Yes Electric cars themselves are green being zero emission vehicles.

Yet when your charging your vehicle it depends on the source of the electricity.

Burning coal, natural gas, methane, etc. = NO

Solar panels, wind turbines, hydo-electric = YES

Even if your still connected to the utility companies it produces less pollution to charge your car then to use gasoline.
