ZEV and source of residential electricity

As to your comment about carbon based electricity, the state's that express the most interest in being Zero Emission Vehicle friendly all have above average residential electricity rates. The only exception is Oregon which supports ZEVs, but also has cheap hydroelectric sources of electricity. Oregon does not have cheap electricity, but it is cheaper than the average.

In general the states with the very cheapest electricity frequently use a lot of coal (Louisiana, West Virginia, the Dakotas for example). None of the states with cheap electricity have initiatives to requires zero emission vehicles . Logically, these states should support these vehicles since they have electricity to spare.
But the process is not very logical.

Average price per kWh in cents, and states that support legal requirements for Zero Emission Vehicles are highlighted. You can only purchase ZEV in California after 2035

By "support ZEV " I don't mean that they have people who support ZEV. I mean that the state government has gone through a formal process to meet the standards established by California.
