To charge that electric car, you will use more electricity to charge it for 300 miles, than a month of air conditioning...

Actually, it would be NATURAL GAS powered, as more electricity is generated by natural gas, than coal. Definitely cant say FOSSIL FUELS!

Natural Gas 34% Coal 30% Nuclear 20% 2021. Coal is still almost 1/3. If you really wanted to go green you would push nuclear. Renewable make up a very small percentage. www.epa.gov/energy/about-us-electricity-system-and-its-impact-environment

Although the Nuclear option would be much higher and cover way more areas possibly to the point the trade off between EV charging and normal electrical usage is doable without any negative side affects like indirect brownouts or blackouts. . .but hey, Environmentalcases hate Nuclear as much as they hate Fossil Fuels.

A gas car already runs on fossil fuels, so have that going for you.

Isn't that the point, trading a fossil fuel vehicle for a fossil fuel vehicle?

Yea that was OP direction. But it is flawed as natural gas produces more electricity than coal. It shows the level in which the OP really understand the situation.

I am not pro electric vehicle. Anyone that has any EXPERIENCE SCALING PROJECTS would know from the start it isnt sustainable, without moving to 100% renewable. Besides the footprint of the vehicles mining the materials offsets any savings the car gives you.

Natural gas is a FOSSIL FUEL, and much of it is extracted through FRACKING!
