I think I agree with everything you said EXCEPT that if coals provides most
power, it *is* an issue, and a matter of credibility if you don't acknowledge
it.
Sure, if there are options to avoid that, by all means, point those out. In
fact, it doesn't really matter what % is using those options.
But in full disclosure, I am a solar junkie, and if I remember correctly,
you are a hydrogen lobbyist paid to undermine EV's in favor of the
fool-cell hydrogen economy. Your painting of EV's with the coal brush
undermines your credibility too.

83% of EV owners are putting up solar or subscribing to wind power then

I agree, but in some areas a lot of the energy *is* being produced by coal. So
there's a need to avoid understating that.
Fortunately, the amount of electricity produced by coal will be dropping fairly
quickly.

I see "economics" as being much less of a motivator than "green
environmentalism". Although I'm a 100% pro EV and Pro environment guy, I
do have to admit that operating an EV is not convenient and is just
generally a challenge. And I LOVE that challenge.
But if you try to sell EV's on economics
Who would have thought even a decade ago that FORD would be issuing
apparently pro-EV news releases?
That said, IMO we need to be a little more careful how we use the Ford
survey data. It doesn't say that 83% of EV owners are charging their EVs
with PV. It says that 83% of them HAVE or ARE
