Charging your electric car is only as green as U.S. infrastructure allows
There are about 2 million battery-electric vehicles in operation in the U.S. and more than 160,000 public chargers. America's electric vehicles use a mixture of public and private charging to fuel up with electrons, whether for daily driving purposes or road trips.like natural gas and coal, meaning that while those zero-emissions cars are greener, they still are part of a large carbon pollution footprint.
Engineering and environmental issues stand in the way of chargers being powered by renewable energy, such as solar or wind power, on-site.
