Can't you choose power source in the US?

Where I live, the city supplies the power network but I can choose between dozens of electricity providers. AIUI there are several for any taste or opinion. Running one of those cars without CO₂ emissions would be as simple as picking a suitable provider and charging the battery for >15 minutes at a time (the statistical model that governs power allocation is based on 15-minute time units).

Is the article author dense or is this kind of competitive electricity provision unknown in the US?



You can in around a dozen states. Very few individuals opt to do so.

In most areas of the US there is a monopoly on most utilities, with a few exceptions (e.g. Houston)
