And oh BTW, according to the Energy Information Administration , California’s grid overall consumed 0% coal power. And the reality is that the grid in many parts of the country will get greener at a faster rate than the EV sales share. Said another way, residents of California purchased 390.9 of US EV sales in 2020.
