How much extra CO2 is generated to create the additional electrify to charge the trucks? About 80% of US electric power is generated by non renewable source. So where would the power be coming from to charge fleets of new electric cars and trucks?

Actually it looks like the % from non-renewable sources is around 66%

Wait, no, you are correct -- I looked up other sources and they corroborate what you wrote
