It actually is relevant because if you live in a backwards shithole like West Virginia or Utah that gets a lot of coal power, it makes less sense because it is way more expensive and dirtier then the worst car.
Actually, coal-powered EVs are cheaper to power and cleaner than the best ICEVs, even hybrids. Coal is generally dirtier than gasoline or diesel, but the dramatically higher efficiencies available in a large, high-temperature power plant vs a small, low-temperature engine more than make up the difference.
I live in Utah, BTW. And drive an EV. Last month I drove 2024 miles, and spent $24.09 on charging (I have a meter on my home EV charger, which is the only place I charge). If I were driving a gasoline c
The reason is tax-breaks, no tolls, free parking, no import/purchase tax, no road tax, driving in bus lanes. Saving the environment isn't one of those reasons.
Saving the environment is the reason for the tax breaks, etc.
The fastest selling EV there is the Jaguar iPace.
Trump, is that you?
From TFA:
Nissan’s upgraded Leaf electric car was the top-selling car in Norway last year, while other top-selling cars overall ranged from small BMWs and Volkswagens (VOWG_p.DE) to full-size sedans and electric sport utility vehicles by Tesla.
I can't find whole-year figures that include December, but up through November [wattev2buy.com] the Jaguar iPace was #20. The top three were the Leaf, the VW e-Golf and the BMW i3.
Norway generates about 90% of it's electrical power via Hydro [slashdot.org].
That, and the fact the country could fit into Texas twice, you have the perfect place for electric cars.

The most popular car sold in Norway last year was the Leaf, not the iPace.
Correcting your trolling is tedious, but someone has to do it.
