Exactly the point many of us have tried to make about electric cars.
Where is the electricity to recharge electric cars going to come from? In many places it will be electricity generated in coal fired power plants.
Arguably we would be producing much more pollution from increased electric production to recharge electric cars, if we reach a.point where mlions of electric cars are plugged in and recharging every night.
Ok I know we all hate HOA’s I live in one and am on the board a resident a renter to boot has an electric car that was popping a breaker once a week the hoa supplies power to the garages I was pissed off big time we figured he was costing us about 50 bucks a month I said we need to get that money from him or I want my 50 bucks for a tank of gas its only fair right well he moved out
Electric cars are not “zero emission vehicles,” instead, they’re emission displacers that move their emissions from where they are used to where the (mostly fossil) power plants that actually power them are located.
