I see on some days, that electricity generation in Germany is 45% coal and 20% gas. With all transmission and storage losses the EVs are almost coal powered then. I know, it’s very rough estimation. But with coal powered cars not much positive can be done against climate change.


An EV running on coal-generated electricity is still cleaner than an ICEV.
