July 4th thoughts on EVs BY Robert FernatT, Member of West Virginia Electric Auto Association. This article was first posted on the West Virginia Electric Auto Association (WVEAA) site. As we approach this Independence Day, I want to call attention to two things from an electric vehicle (EV) perspective.

According to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), US electricity generation in 2010 was 70% fossil fuels (coal 44.9%, natural gas 23.8%); 20% nuclear; and 10% renewable, of which 6.2% EIA forecasts that the mix in 2035 will shift to include 39% coal; 27% natural gas; and 16% renewables.

Results from the study also suggest that with sufficient coal plant retirement and sufficient wind power, controlled charging could result in positive net benefits instead of negative. The question of electricity costs vs. health and environmental cost is important to ask everywhere, Michalek said. Credit: ACS, Weis et al.

For example, some states are located near abundant hydroelectric supplies, while others contain abundant coal resources. To the extent that fuels are used in one state to generate electricity that is consumed in another state, emissions are attributed to the former rather than the latter.

In Germany, renewable electricity generation will be 35 percent by 2020, and 50 percent by 2050. Why then do we not have the same clarity of goal for the electricity generating industry here in the USA? The same can be said for the electricity companies that generate power in the USA. cents/kWh in West Virginia—a 23.59

They focused on adding to an existing LCI rather than refining the existing data and used default GREET settings with the following exceptions: they assumed that (1) corn ethanol plants use 100% natural gas process heat; (2) the ethanol produced is 100% ethanol without denaturant; (3) gasoline production is 100% conventional (i.e.,

Coal supplies nearly 50% of domestic electricity. In order for low-cost electricity from coal-fired power plants to remain available, the DOE said, economical methods for capturing and storing the greenhouse gas emissions from these plants must be developed.

With all this, consumers and policymakers alike are hopeful that society will soon greatly reduce its carbon emissions by replacing today’s cars with electric vehicles. Indeed, adopting electric vehicles will go a long way in helping to improve environmental outcomes. You also must consider the electricity that charges the vehicle.

Senator Joe Manchin, a Democrat from West Virginia, continues to show his coal-based roots are far from gone. After President Joe Biden aimed for half of all new cars sold to be all-electric by 2030, Manchin said the target was “unattainable,” especially as Russia started its invasion of Ukraine.
