They are replacing coal with hydro, natural gas, solar, wind, and varying combinations of those.
My team is also in the process of doing studies for several regional utilities across the country to help them develop their strategies to improve their carbon footprint. Today’s power generation is not what will be in place by the time BEV are the majority of vehicles sold (mid 2030s).

I'm all for energy generation diversity, as I am vehicle propulsion technology diversity. In fact, I hold a Blazer EV reservation for my wife and her commute. That all makes sense (even though the latter will disappear as many on this site lament). I think we should be honest that the only driver for the switch to EVs is not solely emissions.
