How Much Does It Cost to Charge an Electric Vehicle? (A comparison at home and on the road, with gasoline)::Few people know what a kilowatt-hour costs them, so they don’t realize how cheap EV home charging is versus gasoline. On the road, it’s more complicated.
EV home charging is cheap, but it costs us the environement: using utility electricity generated from coal plants (so is supercharging)
Only 8 states in the USA still generate the majority of the their electricity from coal. Its none of the big populated ones.
Coal use continues to decline in the USA while renewables continue to increase:
the rest is whether: nuclear, or fossil, which all are finite and non renewables. only a small fraction are renewables
Not true. Near 50% for CA. One of the largest stars in the USA.
2022, renewable resources, including hydroelectric power and small-scale, customer-sited solar power, accounted for 49% of California’s in-state electricity generation. Natural gas fueled another 42%. Nuclear power supplied almost all the rest.
The world doesn’t revolve only around CA. what about the rest of the world, where EVs are used ?
