I wonder why these idiots think that, if you plug an EV into a charger, somehow the electric grid detects if and automatically reroutes the connection over to a coal burning power plant. We have zero coal plants here in Oregon, and only one in Washington state. Most of our power comes from hydroelectric and natural gas, with a growing percentage coming from windmills. Coal accounts for less than 20% of power on the US electric grid and is dropping. Meanwhile, wind is providing over 10% already.
