You'll need to do your own research on details, but here's a start. Electric cars have no point of use pollution, but they do require electricity for charging and in a lot of places, excess draw on the power grid is still supplied by burning coal. Not exactly environmentally friendly. Life span and battery life are still relatively low, maintenance can be expensive compared to a fuel powered car since they require specialized service. Are they becoming a part of the future? Some people have bought into the trend, but several have not. In some areas, they are not cheaper. The initial purchase price is higher, batteries are expensive and in some markets, the cost of the hydro is more than the cost for the gasoline on a mile per mile basis. The costs are starting to normalize as the electric cars become more popular but they're definitely not there yet.
