content: I have a roof full of solar panels and I power my house and charge my car from that. But even when I'm not getting enough solar, my energy supplier is 100% renewable too (hydro mostly.) No fossil fuel use at all. Of course, the thing with EVs is that they get cleaner as supply moves to renewable sources whereas ICE vehicles get dirtier with age. Also, while you're right that current electricity in many places comes from fossil fuel, an EV is 90% efficient at using the electrixty whereas an ICE uses about 20% of the energy in the fuel and the rest exits the car as heat. Power stations are more efficient than that so an EV is still cleaner than a regular car even when powered by fossil fuel generated electricity.
