Using electricity production data by source and state, the DOE’s Alternative Fuels Data Center has estimated the annual carbon dioxide (CO 2 e)-equivalent emissions of a typical EV. EVs charging in Vermont are estimated to produce the fewest emissions—oil and gas make up only 1.2% Source: DOE. Click to enlarge.

Additionally, switching to cleaner energy sources further reduces the environmental impact of generating electricity. Finally, technology is also making EVs more eco-friendly, and as our energy grid switches to use more renewable sources like wind and solar power, EVs become even better for the environment.
