You plug in a toaster, your usage goes up. You plug in a car, it will go up more. More usage = more production.

What he is saying, there is little "extra" electricity being diverted to your house since you want to charge your car. And I'm sure that extra bit power being made isn't a dramatic change in the exhaust from the plant to make THAT much of a difference.
Honestly, coal power plants in America are dropping in numbers. Want to know who uses coal the most? China. We might be #2 but they are the primary one uses coal and double our usage.
