The fact of the matter is than even if EVs were 100% powered by electricity from coal power plants there would still be less energy consumed and less pollution than conventional gasoline powered cars. Of course power plants are increasingly more efficient and less polluting, and as others have stated many EV owners generate part or all of their own electricity from solar panels, wind, etc. I just took a masters class in energy systems and it is a fascinating subject. I recommend you put politics aside and educate yourself on the matter. We would be a lot better off if people got their education from professors instead of politicians and the media.
