I'd bet a suitable beverage that coal represents the minority of electricity going into EVs today, due in no small part to the early adopters being overwhelmingly likely to have solar panels on their rooftops. That is, a great many EVs on the road right now really are solar-powered cars with truly zero CO2 emissions. Plus, basically everybody in the Southwest who charges overnight...is driving a nuclear-powered car with the electricity coming from Palo Verde. Questions of environmental friendliness aside, nuclear power is free of CO2 emissions as well. Anybody who tries to paint EVs as horrible CO2 polluters is a shill for the Koch Brothers, whether wittingly or otherwise. b& -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
