Funny but not accurate. There are no grids in north america that are powered by enough coal that would make it worse to drive electric CO2 wise.
No. Unless the car is 100% coal, it uses less CO2 eventually.
EVs have a higher initial CO2 cost, but use less per mile than ICE vehicles.
So even in a state like West Virginia (91% coal) an EV produces less CO2 per mile.
The CO2 break-even point (where it becomes better to drive electric) in a green state like Washington might as little as 1.5 years, whereas the break-even point in a state like WV might be 6.1 years.

No ... "EVs have a higher initial CO2 cost". https://imgur.com/a/6yAlEAa They considered that too. ICE vehicles manufacturing incur a transportation cost too.
