I refer to them as, “Coal-Powered Cars.”
Really cheeses off the leftists.
“In 2019 there were 241 coal powered units across the United States which generated 23% of the United States electricity in 2019, an amount of electricity similar to that from renewable energy or nuclear power but about half of the amount generated by natural gas plants. Installed capacity was about 236 GW.
“Coal plants have been closing at a fast rate since 2010 (290 plants have closed from 2010 to May 2019; this was 40% of the US’s coal generating capacity) due to competition from other generating sources, primarily cheaper and cleaner natural gas, (a result of the fracking boom) which has replaced so many coal plants that natural gas now accounts for 40% of the US’s total electricity generation
....
“Some coal plants are considering only operating during periods of higher electricity demand, from December to February (winter) and from June to August (summer).”

Ha ha. I'm going to start using that. Thanks. It amuses me that so many people who think electric cars are the solution to pollution and energy problems, real or imagined, don't realize that the electricity needed to power those cars will still have to come from fossil fuels for a long time to come.
I stop laughing when I realize that the true goal of the leftist would-be oligarchs who are laboring to make this unworkable plan our future may not be as stupid as I think they are. The real objective is to limit our mobility, making it easier to control us.
What happens when electric rates skyrocket? I guess uncle Joe will just hand out more government subsidies or price controls. So, the whole country can end up can sitting in the dark.
Ha. . .funny.
Can you charge while driving? I am thinking that towing a diesel powered generator behind an EV would make a statement.
