So, how many miles per pound of coal does this new-fangled electric car get?

Actually, it is pretty funny to have the EPA promoting a coal powered car. I just wish I wasn’t going to pay for that promotion.

An honest question/questions would be:

Mileage per charge? ~250
Mileage per $$ of electricity?
or if I use your analogy:

Miles per Kw produced from Hydro-electric (USA)
Miles per Kw produced from clean Nuclear energy (USA)
Miles per Kw produced from Natural Gas (USA)
Miles per Kw produced from Methane Hydrates (USA)
Miles per Kw produced from Solar (USA)
Miles per Kw produced from Wind (USA)
Miles per Kw produced from Geothermal (USA)
....

See there are many good sources of clean energy and sourced in the USA.

Don’t dismiss the Tesla car so quickly. It not only is slick looking but can out accelerate just about any production car on the market gas/ethanol/diesel
