Refineries consume a huge amount of electricity
Looks like the union of concerned scientists will have to redo their analysis:

I agree with you. This article has outdated information that needs attention and regularly often with the changing efficiency of EVs and energy production by city, state, and country.

Does the term "the long tailpipe" only used for EVs? Should the title be the long tailpipe of EVs and be another page for non-electric or petrol vehicles?

A few referenced links do not take you to intended sites and articles references two should be, three should be but interactive articles are down for the site, seven is a article using information relevant to 2009, eight is outdated information, nine is a bad link, ten uses redundant outdated information found in eight. These are just a few examples of the references that may not pertain to up to date analysis of the long tailpipe of EVs.

I think that the information found on Alternative Fuels Data should be added or available for click on this page to find out what the true emissions per vehicle for each state within the United Sates. This information along with a report published by the Union of Concerned Scientists provides credible information implying that electric cars produce less greenhouse gas emissions than the averages compact vehicles on the road.
