Consumers Think Renewable Energy Inadequate for EV Charging

Clean Fleet Report

Renewable energy currently accounts for just 17% of electricity sources in the U.S., That certainly poses a challenge for recharging EVs with clean energy, but these predictions are from consumers, not industry experts. Making alternative energy grids more reliable may pose a more significant challenge than capacity alone.
