Electric cars are presently not fully cost competitive with alternative technologies such as the hybrid vehicle and pure internal combustion engines. Air pollution emissions created by electric vehicles are similar to those from hybrid and modern internal combustion engines, except the air pollutants created from electric vehicles are situated at sources of the electrical energy creation (e.g., fossil fuel power plants ). Only in a few countries such as France , where nuclear energy is a high fraction of the grid mix, can it be stated that electric vehicles produce fewer emissions than conventional vehicles. Similar comparisons exist when examining greenhouse gas emissions from electric versus hybrid or conventional internal combustion engines. This syndrome is often called the long tailpipe, where air pollution is simply transferred to different locations when electric cars are used.
