What about the manufacturing of the solar panels? Plus irregardless of where exactly the power for an EV comes from, it needs to be considered as taking from the average of where electricity comes from. Sort of if it wasn't used by the car it could have been used elsewhere. So it is accurate to say electric cars are really powered by coal, and if everybody had one it would be even worse.
