That''s because the electricity that powers EVs has to come from somewhere: often, a fossil fuel power plant. Luckily, power plants are much more efficient at making energy than a car engine, so even an EV that runs entirely on electricity from coal—the very "dirtiest" fossil fuel—will still produce less CO 2 per mile driven than a ...
