"Carbon" car?? What's the fuel your electric utility uses?


Depending on where he's based (I'm assuming California), a large fraction is likely fossil fuel based, but there's lots of natural gas (which is at least a low-carbon FF), but also nuclear, hydro, and wind. It's also not unreasonable to assume that a Tesla Roadster owner might have put down the up-front costs for solar photovoltaics on his home.
