Electric cars are not much greener than normal cars if they use electricity produced in coal plants. I think it makes a lot of sense to push for solar power when you are in the electric car business. Without renewable energy they are really not that green after all.

Who cares, I didn’t buy it to be “green”. If it becomes economically viable power suppliers will transition to solar or whatever replaces coal eventually. It’s just a matter of when and what.
