>It’s only the 36.7% that from coal where the numbers come close
The problem is, when you add that demand to your power grid, is that increasing the supply of hydro, nuclear, wind, or solar? In practice, the extra demand from EVs only increases the correlated amount of coal used as that is where the excess of potential electricity generation is, for now.
I don’t know about other countries but for US and China coal is significantly underrepresented in new power plant construction relative to it’s share of total production.
