Our grid is mostly coal. Cars are generally charged overnight, so EV's charged in 'clean' states that rely on solar might not be as clean as the basic figures suggest. If you don't select a state the calculator will default to a 100% coal based calculation - this would be accurate for most of Australia and other solar boosted coal generators.
