There’s a waste of energy to generate electricity by burning oil and another waste to transfer electricity to kinetic energy - moving the car.

It would be much more efficient and cleaner to just burn fuel.
Well, there's always a useful redirection of "pollution", as a chemical system available.

"Swiss company Climeworks has already built a commercial carbon dioxide–capture plant. The facility near Zurich, which began operation last year, uses fans to draw ambient air through filters that trap carbon dioxide. The 900 metric tons of carbon dioxide that it can trap every year are sent to greenhouses to grow plants."
