Just not true. I favor EVs, but it is incredibly misleading to say 98% comes from other sources. In many places, natural gas and coal are still used to generate the electricity needed. That must be accounted for in your life cycle analysis. In fact, once you remove the Musk propaganda, Tesla's EVs are by no way greener (draw a boundary around his other company SpaceX, and the rocket fuel it uses, and you immediately see what I mean. Worse than Exxon I would bet)


True, but even in Wyoming, where you EV is really a coal-powered vehicle, the coal is not burned in the city.



What you linked seems to me to support GP’s text.

What content on that page do you read as refuting those claims?


Fun fact: there are no cities in Wyoming.


There are a lot of different ways to define "city". Wikipedia list 19 in Wyoming, but I'm not sure what criteria they use.
