I have a Leaf, but I am far far far from rich! I also live in a 1st floor flat, though luckily I own it and was allowed to install a home charger.
In the UK at this moment Gas is the number one source on the grid at 41% But wind is always near the top and atm its 20% of the IUK supply, Second highest supply for the UK grid. We also have solar, Biomass and Hydro. Coal is is 6th atm at 3.3% of the supply.

It takes on average 7Kwh to refine one gallon of gas. Putting that same 7Kwh of electricity in any EV delivers 24 miles of range. The argument that EV's increase pollution by increasing coal fired generation is false.
