For battery EVs, the GHG emissions for “fuel/electricity” production are dominated by the coal and natural gas used in electricity generation. Importantly, battery EVs can be expected to operate with progressively fewer upstream emissions over their lifetimes as electricity grids “green.” Source: The ICCT.

While both EVs and hybrids are doing well in the Indian automobile market, there is a debate among automakers about which technology is cleaner. To accomplish this goal, while other technologies have emerged, EVs (electric vehicles) and hybrids have become the most well-known and broadly accepted, particularly in India.

Both rail and bus emissions decreased during this time, due in part to the state’s efforts to transition to cleaner fuels and to electrify public transportation. The decade-long nationwide slide in emissions from power production reflects the electric power sector shifting away from coal and toward less carbon-intensive fuels.

The proper comparison between vehicle types is the “wells-to-wheels” basis, where the pollution from extracting the raw materials, shipping, transformation (e.g. The grid is getting cleaner each year , and will continue to do so as we replace fossil power plants with renewables, while a gasoline car gets dirtier as it ages.

However, achieving either goal would likely require governments offering hundreds of billions of dollars, if not trillions, in EV subsidies to ICE owners over the next decade, not to mention significant investments in EV charging infrastructure and the electrical grid. billion to more than 2 billion.
