Drivers of EV vehicles should only be allowed to charge from a source that is 100% low carbon, green, renewable power, windmills, solar, bio-thingy etc.

So owners of EV's should be responsible for running the chargers too?. Thats a bit like saying owners of ICE cars should be responsible for how the fuel gets to the pump, i.e, an utterly ludicrous and nonsensical statement!

Otherwise, it's just fake.

What's just fake?

Driving an electric car to prove you are "green" when it's charged by non-green electrical power is fakeing it.

Well first, and this is obviously going to come as a surprise to you, but people can choose an electric car for reasons other than to prove that they are (or appear to be) green. I know on this forum, nobody seems to be able to get past the list price (despite how few people actually "buy" cars these days regardless of whether ICE or electric). And as with so many things, deals are there to be had, they pop up and then disappear again. For example, looking at a lease comparison site I've used before I see that a lease deal for an ORA Funky Cat can be had (48Wh) for £200 per month. On that same site, the cheapest deal for a Golf (1.0 TSI) is £240 per month. Both have a deposit equivalent to 12 months payments, both limited to 5k miles per annum. So you tell me, would the person choosing the Funky Cat be doing so because they want to appear green, or because it is a better deal?. Some may choose an electric car because of its looks, others because they like its smooth and quiet nature, others because they like the instant performance thrust, others maybe simply because they don't like going to filling stations.

But still that doesn't explain why you think EV drivers should be responsible for whether or not the public chargers they use are green?
