Unfortunately most of US citizens power comes from non-renewable energy sources. So, I think rolling power plants into the electric car equation is more applicable than not.
"In 2015, renewable energy sources accounted for about 10% of total U.S. energy consumption and about 13% of electricity generation" [0]
