Elon Musk has some pretty cool coal-powered cars. But they are expensive.
Correct, since most electricity that could recharge an electric car comes from coal fueled power plants, add in the attendant transmission losses, battery inefficiencies, energy cost of producing the car itself, and its batteries. Even if you could in wind power and solar cells that add a miniscule amount of energy to the grid, those systems themselves require energy from coal powered plants in the main to be built. You can’t get away from fossil fuels.
Perfect.
