I wouldn't jump to conclusions... I don't yet drive an EV, but my power comes from Niagara Falls and Bruce Nuclear. It depends on how far up the chain you want to derive your "fossil fuel free" term from. I'm sure Bruce Nuclear and Niagara Falls both required huge amounts of fuel to build and maintain - the hydro company came by and used a gas powered chain saw to clear trees from my power lines! I'd say someone is FF free if they don't put gas or oil in their car. Heck, even gas came from dinos that were eating solar-fed leaves and veggies!
