Original Note:
Much is misleading in the post. Renewable energy just overtook coal less than 2 years ago, but post presents it as much more. EV ownership is a very small fraction of car ownership. 1-4% depending on sources. https://www.statista.com/statistics/220174/total-us-electricity-net-generation-by-fuel/ https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/electricity/electricity-in-the-us.php https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_in_the_United_States https://www.edmunds.com/electric-car/articles/percentage-of-electric-cars-in-us.html https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/07/13/how-americans-view-electric-vehicles/
