No coal on my grid (well a tiny amount sometimes but it is being phased out)

Another thing I’d like to add is that even burning coal it will still break even and deliver less emissions over the lifetime of the vehicle:

> If they drive in Poland, where 90% of the electricity comes from burning coal, then yes, it will take 100,000 kilometers or more to reach parity with a conventional gasoline-powered car.

Even with coal, power plants are much much more efficient than ICEs at converting fuel to energy:

The US Grid is an 18% coal mix...

... and no new coal plants are being fired to support electric vehicles.

Coal turbines at scale are efficient when compared to thousands of internal combustion engines.

Combine that efficiency with scrubbers and lined waste retention ponds for any plant built in the last 50 years.

It's also not an either/or; A person buying an electric car can vote, support, or install (or offset credit) renewables.
