- every electric car has no local emissions, so it has a direct impact from day one
- if the grid gets cleaner, electric cars will pic that up and get cleaner too
- even at 60% coal, the electric car has a slight advantage, as electric cars are way more efficient, especially in congested traffic, than combustion engines.
- getting all cars electric will take 30 years, from the day no more combustion engines are sold, it still takes 10-15 years, so this needs to be done in parallel with cleaning up electricity production.
