    the people designing, making, and distributing all use GHG. The robots that make them all run on GHG. The distribution networks that support them all use GHG. Even the power that goes into the charge stations are coal and oil powered.

    That’s a myth, and fossil fuel propaganda.

    Much of the entire supply chain, and most of the energy mix that powers them, are already renewable and that fraction is increasing all the time.

    For example, in California the power mix is roughly 50% renewable. In San Francisco it’s almost 100%. So if I purchase a Tesla, there’s very little fossil fuels in the post manufacturing cycle.

    The whole point of EVs is to decouple transportation with fossil fuels. As our grid gets greener, so do our vehicles.
