One of the common arguments you hear from people in America who are not fans of the idea of electric vehicles is that they are mostly charged from electricity produced from coal power plants. Heavy Coal Using States Accounted for Only 10% of EV Sales in 2020. The argument that EVs are powered mostly from coal simply isn’t true.

A Tesla Megapack battery system has officially turned on to replace Hawaii’s very last coal power plant. In early 2022, we reported that Tesla is deploying Megapacks at a new energy storage project that will replace Hawaii’s last remaining coal plant. It will enable better use of the state’s increasing renewable energy.
