EV's, even when powered by coal, are still more carbon efficient than ICE. "Luckily, power plants are much more efficient at making energy than a car engine, so even an EV that runs entirely on electricity from coal—the very “dirtiest” fossil fuel—will still produce less CO2 per mile driven than a similar ICE car.". ICE have to be powerful, light weight, and space efficient. generator plants just need to be efficent, size be damned!

But yea, totally agree that the carbon tax should be charged to the generating facility.
