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. The argument that EVs are powered mostly from coal simply isn’t true. of EV sales in 2020. of electric vehicle sales in the US.
