Are EVs Charged Mostly By Coal Power in the US?

EV Adoption

Last year I wrote an article — Electric Vehicles Have Lower Well-to-Wheel Emissions in All 50 States and DC Than Gas-Powered Vehicles — looking at “well to wheel” from the US Department of Energy and my own analysis of EV sales and source of electricity by state. Heavy Coal Using States Accounted for Only 10% of EV Sales in 2020.
