Coal is cheap. But Shenzen has been having blackouts because they can't get enough coal to keep up. Is it some great thing to have electric vehicles powered by coal? Maybe from a smog standpoint but from a carbon perspective is it any better? I'm genuinely asking.

Something like 78% of electricity in China is produced burning coal.
