[*1] If the electricity generated in your region is low-emission, a battery electric car may well make sense. However, if where you live relies largely on fossil fuels to generate electricity then charging an electric car will still create carbon emissions. In that case, a fuel-efficient combustion-powered or hybrid vehicle may well be a better choice.
[*2] Example of powertrain technologies
SKYACTIV-G, D: Gasoline and diesel engines in pursuit of ultimate combustion

e-SKYACTIV PHEV: Plug-in hybrid system equipped with a SKYACTIV engine
e-SKYACTIV R-EV: Plug-in hybrid system equipped with a rotary engine
e-SKYACTIV EV: Electric vehicles (electrification technology that can run on electirc power alone)
