It's time to debunk this continual statement by those opposed to EVs: nationally, over the last 12 months, brown coal has equated for somewhere between 13 and 17% of the national electricity market source of generation.

The only state that uses brown coal as a generation source is Victoria, and then brown coal generation equates for somewhere between 60 and 80% of the state's total generation.

I don't think it's factual to claim that, nationally, EVs will be powered by brown coal.

In Victoria alone, you can see the impact that solar and wind are having on the generation source profile. Especially rooftop solar.
