One of the advantages of electric cars is that they get cleaner as the emissions associated with generating the electricity to power them decrease. And the good news for electric-car drivers is that the grids that supply their electricity have been getting cleaner--and will likely continue to do so this year and into the future.

To achieve the best outcomes, the brief suggests, plug-in vehicle adoption should typically be focused on HEVs and PHEVs by city drivers in mild-climate regions with a clean electricity grid, such as San Francisco or Los Angeles. Further, drivers should not be encouraged to charge at night in coal-heavy regions.

Nikola sells both of these, but the problem with hydrogen is that the electrical grid is already built out, and there’s relative ease to add new chargers, whereas hydrogen fueling stations are a more involved effort. Hydrogen could theoretically be generated by electrolysis of water, powered by clean energy.

Hydrogen is thus greasing the wheels of the global transition to cleaner energy. Almost all hydrogen produced today is designated as brown, black, or gray, meaning it was generated by burning natural gas or coal. There are no standard procedures for doing this in a tiny, automated, and isolated grid, so we are trying to devise some.

The electric grid is the most advanced energy-distribution network ever created and is constantly only a few feet away from us (far more ubiquitous than gas/ethanol/hydrogen stations). As a civilization, we have committed ourselves to electricity and we must make cleaner electricity. Electric engines are emissions free (and quiet).

In other developed countries – in Europe and Asia, for example – clean, electric public transit is the principal means of transportation. Of course we need energy to create electricity, and just as we’ve been burning petroleum for a century to move us and our stuff around, we’ve been burning oil and coal and natural gas to create electricity.
