And clean?

Electric cars have lots of options in addition to electricity from fossil fuels

Nuclear, solar, wind, geo-thermal, hydro.

We’ll probably need diesel for quite some time but electric cars do have more options.

I’m not sure why the grid mix is relevant at this time.

electric car usage in the US is less than 1 million cars.

My point was that that the electricity can come from a variety of sources, including fossil fuels. Coal is dying. Natural gas is cheaper and much cleaner.
