In the 2012 analysis (using 2009 electricity generation data), 44% of electricity in the US was generated using coal and less than 2% was from wind and utility-scale solar. This reduction in EV emissions has come largely from the increased use of clean energy sources like wind and solar and the marked reduction in coal-fired power generation.
