I couldn't find a tailpipe either. I may be going out on a limb here, but I'm guessing that it didn't 'emit' any emissions. But I see sconnors point about electricity coming from fossil fuels though...but not ALL electricity comes from fossil fuel. I heard tell of a new-fangled thing called a dam and that one of them got built near Vegas a while ago. It uses water to make electricity. I mean, what'll they think of next...using sunshine or wind to make electricity? I saw a Nissan Leaf with a zero emissions badge on it at work last week. I couldn’t find a tailpipe either.

The electricity comes from fossil burning fuels. That said, the kw/lb co2 efficiency of power providers in California is better than other parts of the country. The diesel electric hybrid remains the best alternative for reducing emissions while not sacraficing range. Sadly, diesel engines are not seen as "green". It’s not emissions free driving.
