    It’s not 80% of electricity it’s 80% of all energy consumed so transportation, home heating, and manufacturing all use fossil fuels. The electrical grid is about 60% fossil fuels. Thing is a lot of people who have an electric car also have solar panels and if you consume electricity before it enters the grid it doesn’t get counted in that statistics. I’m not saying it’s a high percentage but if you have solar panels and an electric car then it doesn’t matter what the grid is.
