From 2008 to 2009, CO 2 emissions from the transportation end-use sector declined 4%, due largely to decreased economic activity in 2009 and an associated decline in the demand for transportation. Transportation activities (excluding international bunker fuels) accounted for 32% of CO 2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion in 2010.

And, if you consider lifetime costs of owning an EV versus owning a traditional internal combustion car, even if the initial purchase price of the EV is much more than your combustion car and you have to replace a battery for $4,000 after 7-10 years, the EV still costs less to operate. If you charge with solar, is way less.
