Fossil fuel power plants are far more efficient, and the electrical grid runs on a mix of sources that includes nuclear, wind, solar, hydro, etc.
But mostly coal and natural gas. I mean I ain't mad at it- we're the Saudi Arabia of coal, and Canada probably has enough natural gas to make Russia blush if they just looked for it and could provide all of North America with like 1000 years of power. Although I do think BEVs are a wrong turn and FCEVs are the way; I know they currently suck and will suck for the foreseeable future but if they had the market share of BEVs they'd probably not suck- and that massive amount of natural gas that US and Canada (probably) have can be converted into hydrogen. BEVs are just too fucking heavy; BEVs weigh like 1500-2000 lbs more than equivalent ICE vehicles.
