I visited a test house at a local university last week.
No electricity cable going into the house but it had air conditioning, fans, TV and everything else you'd expect in any standard building.
The lighting was very low power but highly efficient low voltage LEDs and the rest of the kit was the lowest power units available.
The electricity was generated by solar and wind with battery backup.
Electricity bill - Zero, nothing, not a sausage.
Pollution - the same - none.
The set up costs were terrible but that's experimental units for you. Common technology becomes cheap as this will in time.
The same will apply to electric cars as time goes on but we may well see solar panels charging the car so less or no need to plug it in.
