Which pollutes more. The car or where I live the coal power plants? It's never easy.
Hard to say if you have a Prius they are really clean - the energy numbers are like 40 watt hours for my electric scooter and cars take about 5 times that so about 200 for a good car. Get an electric Cycle maybe enclosed for better aero and you can do much better until it gets cold outside. Electric rates in Newport for 100kwh a month are about 25 cents per KWH. CA is about 5 cents a KWH and they think they have high rates.

At $3.50/gal and .08c/kwhr The ForkenSwift barely comes out ahead (by about 9% even when the gasser FE is 70 mpg (fair comparison - it's what I'd expect to get in city driving in an old Metro).
That's also with the $600 battery pack replacement variable. Now, if we can get away with used, free batts, then the EV leaps way ahead in terms of cost effectiveness.

Is that how much you're paying with bullfrog .08 cents/kwhr? Great Price.
