Even though California has made significant progress in diversifying away from fossil fuels, electricity still relies heavily on natural gas. As such, natural gas steps in to cover demand. The same source shows that on July 14, over 95% of the CO2 emitted for electricity production came from natural gas use.Most people charge their EVs overnight at home to avoid peak electricity prices. Thus, they consume electricity produced by burning natural gas, which comprises methane, ethane, butane, propane, and other gases. Once we figure out how to ditch natural gas and coal burning to produce energy, our commuting appliances will only amplify their usefulness in the fight against climate change.Finally, Californians who haven't switched to EVs pay some of the highest gas prices in the country.
