Both are easy to define—a population’s share connected to the national grid or to a local source of electricity, and the ability to read and write—but such definitions do not make it possible to get a truly informed verdict. This means that in 2019 about 770 million people had no electricity, three-quarters of them in Africa.

Most automotive manufacturers say they plan to use renewable energy in the future, but for now, most battery production relies on electric grids largely powered by fossil fuels. And it produces almost all its electricity from hydro and solar. And that much more vehicle charging would then put great pressure on our electricity grids.
