Legodude is right, energy generated at power plants is much more efficient and less polluting than generating it inside a combustion engine in a car. Plus, as we increase the percentage of energy that we generate cleanly and renewably (solar and wind, possibly geothermal) the positive impact of plugging the car in instead of filling it up, becomes greater and greater.
