Hybrids like the RAV4 and E
Hybrids like the RAV4 and E-Boxer use regenerative braking to recharge, not the grid. Plugin hybrids (PHEV) can use grid power but remember that much of the grid is moving to renewable energy and if you have solar panels (like I do), recharging can happen by solar. Battery production is not as disastrous for the environment as fossil fuel extraction (most of it in the US comes from fracking) and processing/delivery/storage which affects many places worldwide whereas battery production only affects a few isolated mines in places like Africa and China.
