This comment confuses me. The electric energy isn't free, and depending on the source its possibly emitting the same gases (but hopefully at a lower rate due to efficiency gains).

I'm all for EVs but I find these types of comments distracting and underscoring a fundamental misunderstanding

Parent article is about a solar roof, parent comment wishes such a car to keep AC on while parked. Solar roof = no emissions.

Where is the misunderstanding?
