My EV is charged from the municipal power company -

Clean sources (84%)
Geothermal 38%
Large Hydroelectric 20%
Biomass & waste 17%
Wind 7%
Small hydroelectric 1%
Solar <1%
Additional sources (17%)
Natural Gas 10%
Coal 6%
Nuclear 1%

Total is slightly more than 100% due to rounding. Additional (less clean) sources listed are generally used during summer daytime when I'm not charging the car...
