Even at 88% coal produced electricity (as in WV) EVs have 22% lower annual emissions than ICEs. Does this mean a coal fired plant is cleaner than an ICE?:E. Maybe that means it’s easier to scrub the emissions from a stationary source than a mobile ICE.
In UT (where coal produces 61% of the electricity) EVs produce 37% less than ICEs annually.
What you see coming out of the chimney of a coal fired electric plant is 100% steam. 100%. So I'd have t say it is pretty clean.
And how much in road taxes are the people who drive electric cars paying??
Why am I paving the way for them?
Once again, they are putting the cart before the horse. We do not have the ability to charge the 276 million vehicles here in the US that they want to replace with electric cars.
Back to my CA comment. They are pushing electric vehicles bad and they can't even keep the lights on at Motel 6.
