How EVs Are Reducing Carbon (CO2) Emissions

Blink Charging

One avenue to combat this crisis is a rapid reduction in carbon emissions from our daily transportation, one of the leading contributors of CO 2 emissions. Enter electric vehicles: a practical step toward reducing carbon emissions and reinforcing sustainable practices. EVs are game changers in the reduction of vehicle emissions.

Opinion: Updating the Grid for Commercial Fleets Needs To Start Now

Clean Fleet Report

Fleet Electrification Drives the Need for Changes. This year, the United States will begin to see an accelerated adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) for last-mile delivery, maintenance and service, freight hauling and public transit fleets; a positive trend, but one that will place additional stress on the grid. First, the U.S.

Renault-Nissan Alliance installing 90 new charge spots for COP21 summit in Paris

Green Car Congress

The French power grid distributes electricity with a very low average of CO 2 emissions per kWh: less than 40 g in 2014, compared to the European average of 325 g of CO 2 emissions per kWh. That means the Renault-Nissan EV fleet will use electricity considered fully “decarbonized.”.

PHEVLERs are the Zero CO2 Clean Green Machines of the Future

Green Car Congress

PHEVLERs produce no tailpipe emissions in local driving. The long electric range of the PHEVLER ensures that most if not all local driving will be emissions-free in population centers where air quality problems are greatest. PHEVLERs make our electric grid more efficient. [ PHEVLERs use the Existing Energy Infrastructure.

Are EVs Charged Mostly By Coal Power in the US?

EV Adoption

And hence, while electric vehicles themselves produce zero carbon emissions, charging them increases the amount of electricity generated from fossil fuel energy sources such as coal. I expect that the states with greenest grids will also continue to adopt EVs at a faster rate than high coal powered grid states.
