> I wonder how many electric car owners give any thought to the source of their electricity?

Valid question, and I don't know. Given that Ireland announced thr ban from 2030, and the average age of a car on the road in Ireland is about 8 years, they have 15-20 years before the average car is electric there - plenty of time to wean off the nasty inefficient sources. Having the population on electric vehicles means that clean power generation will have an even stronger impact on the world.
