Ironic, since a Model S can indirectly run on coal while a traditional ICE cannot. Although, I think when you use coal electric cars are no more green than ICE

- dragonwriter 12y agoIIRC, coal (or pretty much anything else you can generate energy with) can be used to power industrial plants that turn pretty much any organic material into pretty much any of the things you can get from refining petroleum, so gasoline-powered autos can also run indirectly on coal. Though fossil oil needs to get a lot more expensive to extract before that becomes an economically viable way of powering cars designed for gasoline.
