Well, at the rate solar panels and battery storage is improving (read cheaper), by 2040 solar will be cheaper than coal by a country mile. I wouldn&#x27;t be surprised if on grid solar is already cheaper than coal, if coal wasn&#x27;t massively subsidized by being allowed to pollute the commons for free.<p>Regardless, it is much better to have EVs powered by large, more efficient powers sources, that are easier to scrub the outputs of, or replace with cleaner options.
