Active since 1995, Hearth.com is THE place on the internet for free information and advice about wood stoves, pellet stoves and other energy saving equipment.
We strive to provide opinions, articles, discussions and history related to Hearth Products and in a more general sense, energy issues.
We promote the EFFICIENT, RESPONSIBLE, CLEAN and SAFE use of all fuels, whether renewable or fossil.
Given the frequency of rolling blackouts some years, a backup source of power may need to factored in.
The carbon emissions per kwh of this charging station probably aren't any different (and could even be less) than that of a coal powered grid. An efficient gas or hybrid powered car could actually by cleaner than a Tesla charged at this station, or one on a coal grid.
IMO this post highlights the issue with EVs, the emissions from electricity are often negated if the emissions can't be seen. I bet this article wouldn't have been written if a diesel generating plant was located 10 miles down the road.
