The whole thing with an electric car is that you decouple the car from the fuel, which he acknowledges by calling it a coal fuelled car, he doesn't call it electric fuelled, for instance. So it is an n fuelled car. You could decide to fuel it entirely by setting fire to old socks in the burner of an old steam genset, if you had enough old socks.
