And hence, while electric vehicles themselves produce zero carbon emissions, charging them increases the amount of electricity generated from fossil fuel energy sources such as coal. OK, well if you drive an EV in West Virginia it is true, as that state produces roughly 94% of its electricity from coal power plants.
