Depends where you are. In the US as a whole (so this varies heavily state-to-state), about 60% fossil fuels

In France, about 6% fossil fuels.

And it looks like even if the car is charged partly by fossil fuels the power generation for an electric car is cleaner than running a gas car in 95% of the world.

i would love for the United States to build more nuclear power plants and get this percentage down!
