Hardly. Unless you were able to create the electricity in a green way, it wouldn't be green at all. Coal fired plants create most of the energy, in the US, at least.
Not that I'm against alternative fuels, but making it an electric car doesn't mean it automatically an environmentally viable alternative.
Also, how would you be able to dispose of all of the batteries when you can't service the car anymore?
Besides, if you wanted the car to be environmental, you wouldn't make it a sports car. The sports car aspect of it makes it more appealing, but that's not how you get more mileage out of it. But I do understand it from a marketing point of view.
