content: This is a misinformed comment, yes a majority of power in the US is provided by coal. Not all of it is though. There's a website, which I just can't find at the moment, that shows how much CO2 is put into the environment by EVs by state. My car, a Ford Focus EV in New York State, can go approx 150 miles adding the same amount of CO2 into the environment as a car that gets 25mpg. So I go 150 miles and a gas car goes 25 miles and we've put into the environment the same amount of CO2. Now some of us have solar panels, which dramatically decreases CO2 production. Not to mention the oil I'm not using every 3-5k. All of it adds up over time. It's not a perfect process, it's in its infancy and will take years to perfect and mass produce. But that statement is an old one and frankly tired and worn out.
