i ll edit my comment to ‘fossil and non renewables (nuclear)’ instead of ‘coal’. hopefully the point would get through some of ur (few) brain wrinkles, and i mean this to all people who share this same trait
Gasoline comes from oil. Electricity comes from coal. Or oil. Or natural gas. Or nuclear. Or hydro. Or wind. Or solar. Or hamsters running on wheels. The renewable options are there and they’re only becoming more prevalent.
Also, power plants scale much better at producing large amounts of energy more efficiently than a bunch of tiny little engines make a car go. So sure, coal plays a part in feeding an electric car, but if you’re going to advocate against it anyway you’re missing the bigger picture.

So you realise that you’re parroting the same thing all over the place and you know it’s probably not accurate? Here’s a challenge for you - approach this topic like something you’ve not researched before without your existing opinions and try and reach an answer as to whether electric cars are better or worse for the environment by being as scientific and objective as possible.
Because I keep coming across comments similar to yours, I have taken that same challenge myself to make sure I’m on the right track and there was a lack of compelling sources suggesting that electric cars are worse for the environment.
I invite everyone with the alternative view to the same challenge.

I have seen your comments before. They show you lack a basic understanding of EV charging and when you get called out over basic points like “most people don’t need to charge their full battery capacity overnight” you ignore it.
At least you made this reply.

If there are any hamsterologists here I’d very much like to see the math on hamster charging of EVs please
