Unless I'm missing your point, you don't charge hybrids.

Top Rated Plug-In Hybrids | GreenCars
If you're searching for one of the top rated plug-in hybrid vehicles on the market, GreenCars has put together a list of them just for you.

Plug in hybrids are a thing now. They have both a gas tank and a charge port.
If you believe the guy from the Ted Talk that would defeat the advantage of a hybrid car.
They have been an option since soon after hybrids came on the market.
"The guy from the TED talk" admitted early in his presentation that he was just trolling for attention.
I assume that is why TED put the disclaimer on the youtube version.
There is only one coal-burning power plant left in California. It's out in the desert at Trona where coal is burned in a chemical process to refine the salts from Trona Lake and the excess heat is used to cogenerate electricity for the plant and surrounding area.

You need a better source than a video which has been disowned by its own publisher.
I see we are back to trust the experts who are credentialed and agree with me on a particular topics and everyone else is garbage rather than critique particular statements made in the talk. Why, then, am I not surprised?
Part of the issue is what you buy. Leasing a new Telsa with all the bells and whistles every 2 years is less environmentally friendly than running the old volvo beater that's fully paid off into the ground.
When Does the Clean-Energy Infinity Loop Start?
Digging up minerals for rechargeable batteries has a high initial cost, but eventually those minerals can be recycled indefinitely.

What part of "if you believe this guy" don't you and Espola understand? It's one of thousands opinions regarding green energy. If Tedx was that concerned about it they would have removed it from their Youtube channel. They simply labeled it viewer beware because it challenges popular opinion, which makes the scientific community uncomfortable when someone deviates from the defined narrative.
It's lazy reasoning how you and Espola have a tendency to challenge the source but not the substance.
Dr. Mary Bowden (@mdbreathe) is a licensed Texas physician who kept nearly 4,000 patients out of the hospital with a successful COVID treatment rate of 99.97%.
She is currently suing the FDA for blocking her ability to treat her patients and for politicizing the practice of medicine.
A few days ago, Twitter banned her account with 120K followers because she is standing up to the FDA and fighting for medical freedom.

You see that as an exclusive on dad and E’s part? You must have the trump brigade on ignore.
Well the Trump brigade never seems to address either the source or the substance directly. They tend to be on a completely different flight path.
If you have a real argument, find someone who thought it was worth writing down.
"Watch my rambling and repetitive video" is not the same as communication.
I'm a visual learner! I don't have the attention span to sit down and read a book.
Have you watched the video? How would you know its rambling and repetitive? You act like the video is some great science denier diatribe. His basic premise is that we have to look at the bigger picture when we're talking about a carbon footprint and that its incorrect to call electric cars "zero emissions". Sorry it send you into tailspin that anyone would question the woke status quo. More evidence that academics don't toleration deviation from the so-called consensus.
Does it really take a Ted talk to explain the fact that industrial processes consume energy and produce CO2 emissions?
If that's the only take away, I think I'm justified in skipping it.
Classic Car enthusiasts have done then same thing in reverse by reducing miles driven per year.
Sure. And matchbox cars are even greener than classic cars. Probably not more than a few pounds of CO2 over the entire life of the car.Classic Car enthusiasts have done then same thing in reverse by reducing miles driven per year.
Maybe we can restrict our discussion to cars that are actually used as cars?

Per usual you miss the point.
Electric batteries in cars last between 10-20 yrs.
Terribly expensive to replace for staters...and a lot of emission related to producing that 2nd battery.
I have a 2004 vehicle that will run many more yrs without major issues.
As it stands now you will not see a lot of older electric vehicles on the road.
Other issues?
On a large scale they still are not practical. You cannot quickly charge the vehicle. Right now it is an inconvenience. On a mass scale a major issue.
We also do not have the grid anywhere close to handling millions of electric cars on the road.
And then you have the idiocy of trying to shut current reliable power plants with renewables that provide inconsistent power. The euros are coming face to face with reality now as Russia restrict gas. Now they are talking and realize the should not shutter gas and coal plants.. and maybe shuttind down nuclear power as Germany wanted to is a bad idea.
Car and driver just tested out the new electric Ford truck to see how far it could tow things. The results? Not even a hundred miles.
Remember that when politicians talk about electric big rig vehicles
