> Why are we incentivising electric cars at purchase rather than incentivising the use of green energy to charge them?

Shouldn't we be incentivising both?

(one of the largest incentives I can see at the moment generation-side is that the levelized-cost-of-energy (LCOE) for solar in particular has become cheaper than most alternatives, and continues to reduce. and that's operational cost, excluding the cost of externalities on nations and their populations)
