Yes, because the whole world has the same reliance on fossil fuels as the US.
Notice how I said US instead of World. That was done on purpose.
Long or short term? Electrical vehicles do not care where the power comes from.
Long term: if the state I lived in switched to 50% usage of EVs overnight. How much more Green House emissions would be generated by the power plants? Would it be an overall decrease of GH gasses for my state? I doubt the hydro power is going to help that much.
If it is from fossil fuels, it is kinda obvious. It is apparently possible to sequester CO2 from the process of extracting hydrogen from natural gas, but I have no idea if it is even required by regulations, or economically viable.
Interesting I didnt realize we had to use natural gasses to get H. Wow even Helium is produced from Natural gas.
