That really isn't true anymore - EVs are still greener than any petrol car for 75% of the US population, and that will go up! https://blog.ucsusa.org/dave-reichmuth/new-data-show-electri...

For the current generation mix, which is a lot of natural gas and some renewables, you’re right. And I agree the mix will get greener.

Ah I wasn't aware of that. Emissions are definitely the primary concern, at least for me.
