Electricity Requirements for 100% Electric Vehicles

In 2021, more than 60% of the nation’s electricity was generated by fossil fuels. While this ratio has fallen since 2010, when the total was 70%, it means powering EVs can still produce emissions. SOURCE: USA FACT


Electricity is also produced from renewable sources such as wind, hydropower, solar power, biomass, and geothermal. Together, renewable energy sources generated about 20% of the country's electricity in 2020. SOURCE: Energy.gov

What you need to understand is that wind, water, and solar farms are not going to provide enough electricity to power 100% electric vehicles in the USA...  We are currently at 20% with a majority of our electricity provided by fossil fuels....

Even if we stopped the production of gasoline for our vehicles, we would still need fossil fuels to generate electricity...

If were at 100% electric vehicles, we would need fossil fuels for commercial and military aircraft as well as military vessels and cruise ship vessels unless we decided to go nuclear power...  which in and of itself is dangerous.

Until we find a better way to generate electricity, we are going to be reliant upon fossil fuels for the next several decades.

HOWEVER...

Hydrogen powered vehicles do not require electricity or fossil fuels...  all they required is WATER and a conversion process...

It makes more sense to go hydrogen than electric and there will not be all this silly investment into solar, wind, and hydro to generate electricity...  except for maybe a home or a business.

We need to think through some of our ideas before we jump up and say this is the only way to go...  doing that makes us look stupid and foolish...
