The world doesn't revolve only around CA. what about the rest of the world, where EVs are used ?
Well here’s the data for my country:
According to official data, Scotland broke previous records by generating 35.3TWh of renewable electricity in 2022, marking a 28.1% increase from 2021 and 9.8% from 2020.
This amount of electricity could power all households in Scotland for over three years.

Do you understand how much effort you're putting into being "right" rather than having an actual discussion?
For context, you started with "EV is bad because it uses coal", implying that it is worse than ICE vehicles (somehow).
Then you had to change it to "EV is bad because it uses non-renewable energy."
Then you had to change it to "EV is bad because it uses non-renewable energy and renewable energy, but not really much renewable energy."
Then you had to change it to "EV is bad because outside of California, which doesn't count (for some reason), it uses non-renewable energy and renewable energy, but not really much renewable energy."
Now that someone is pointing out that other places besides California use significant amounts of renewable energy, your argument has become "I only will accept arguments that provide citations, even though my own various, shifting arguments, have provided none."
This is in no way a good look for you.
