In before all the luddite shrills scream coal powered blah blah.

Get with the times boomer. Coal is less than 20% of total electricity made. Natural gas is by far the largest share. With nuclear and renewables both individually making more than coal does. Put another way 40% of the total USA power is from nuclear and renewables so if anything these EVs are more nuclear and renewables powered than coal BY FAR.

You don't do this logic thing, do you? Here is a math problem.

You are in your little buzz-mobile, at night, in a traffic jam, in the snow, with the heater, the wipers, the defroster going, and you are trying to charge your phone.

How far will you have to walk, and how much will you have to pay Hertz for the tow?

Love your propaganda.

The power generation and the usage is not homogeneous by source, use, and geography.

But you knew that, right?
