Just as well known (or not) down here in the "southlands" it's the same for all other known solutions as well.

Keeping the vehicle battery at depleted state and charging from the grid will be cleaner overall, even with coal and oil burning electricity generation still in the mix.

It would be like measuring cylinder pressure for ICE's. Just feed it 1kWh on the meter and measure what you get back out. It would be like measuring cylinder pressure for ICE’s.
