I’m all for competition between energy sources.
I’ll be ecstatic to drive a vehicle powered by American coal when the price is right.

Me too. But ONLY between free market companies. I believe technology will soon be available to power a full size car to run 500 miles (not 50 miles) and recharge in 15 minutes (not 15 hours).
But what burns me up is Obama throwing trillions of dollars at green energy boondoggles only to have these companies go bankrupt.
Technology like copper wires over an inch in diameter? You'll get 5 miles out of a kWH at best in your car so you'll need 100kWh (assuming no losses). 100 kWh at 400 volts and 15 minutes (assuming no charging losses) is 1000 amps. That's assuming the generator is in your shed 50 feet from the car, otherwise add to the wire size.
