there are coal power plants, natural gas, nuclear, solar and wind, could be others I missed.
The juice that gets put into an EV can be from any of those sources, but the point is the juice comes from somewhere not fairy dust.
right now it's more eco friendly to keep an old car out of the junk yard than to build a new EV.
Obviously, some day we'll all be using EVs and they will work and make sense, we have to start somewhere but it's funny to make fun of the eco-mentalists who think they're saving the planet by driving an EV.
The only benefit is they are the beta testers and are paying the early adopter tax.
One bad thing is that interest in EVs is dropping due to the facts that everyone who is going to get one of these early designs already has one, the grid can't handle 100% adoption, they only make sense for certain "in town" use cases, they are expensive, they don't live up to the marketing brochures, low production volume models are ruinous to fix unless you buy new, and the battery production seems to be pretty horrific.
