VOCs and nitrogen oxides react with sunlight to form ground-level ozone, the main component of smog. and so the question is: what does that do to the environment. De Gouw said the VOC emissions are likely generated by the production process, not the coal-burning that powers it.

Up there, 10 to 50 kilometers above the Earth’s surface, ozone molecules absorb the sun’s ultraviolet light, protecting life far below. Even less is understood about the potential risks to people and the environment—could the particles deplete the ozone layer, for example, or significantly alter the weather? about 0.6 °C.

According to Forbes , studies have found that solar and wind power is often cheaper than power from fossil fuels, even without financial assistance, and their daily operations undercut even the most cost-effective coal plants. Some of the effects of pollution, such as depleting the ozone layer, affect both environmental and human health.

That being said, even a car that derives its energy from coal power plants would be far more clean. Having centralized energy production in that way allows for centralized pollution control measures, filters, so-called "clean coal" rather than depending on X number of cars, manufacturers, and consumers to deal with pollution control.
