If an EV is charged with electricity that is produced by burning fossil fuel such as coal or natural gas, there are still greenhouse gas emissions associated with running the vehicle. While electric school buses cost more than diesel buses to purchase, the savings in fuel and maintenance costs even out over the lifetime of the bus.

billion, as the world’s population grows and more people in developing economies are able to afford cars. This slower growth is attributed to the relatively higher cost of the vehicles, driven by the cost of batteries. Wind, solar and biofuels are likely to make up about 4% of energy supplies in 2040, up from 1% in 2010.

While the%age increase in VMT was roughly in pace with population increase, as the cost of driving went down it appears some people abandoned public transportation for driving. 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.

By integrating EVs with renewable energy generation, such as solar or wind power, it becomes possible to reduce reliance on non-renewable energy sources and create a more sustainable transportation ecosystem. The higher upfront costs made EVs less accessible and less attractive to a broader consumer base.
