I think some of you are judging the electricity-generation as a function of the 'grid'. I think the future of electric vehicles is having charging stations spaced out that generate their own juice without the need of the grid.
The big shift that Henry Ford caused was having your own engine and fuel supply that was independent.
Independence of the grid is the future. I also think that the roofs of the transporters can hold enough power generating tools to supply a team and car(s) for an entire weekend.
Driving up and running a weekend without plugging in should be the goal.
That way, the coal-produced electricity becomes a non-issue.
