Coal plants are closing down (and the planned ones are being canceled: https://twitter.com/DrSimEvans/status/1437704409048358919/ph...).

And any EV charged with non-coal electricity is far more climate friendly than ICE https://ec.europa.eu/jrc/en/jec/activities/wtw, and with improvements in battery production, EV design and more renewable energy on the grid everywhere, it just gets better year over year.

What's your point?

I always have appreciated the fact that EVs are future proof- older model vehicles can benefit from clean energy advances in power generation. Today my car may be partially coal powered but tomorrow it could be ??? Compare that to ICE MPG improvements like start-stop tech, while it is a neat development it does nothing for older vehicles
