Tsinghua/Argonne Study Finds That Mass Use of EVs in China Could Result in Higher CO2 and Criteria Pollutant Emissions Than Conventional and Hybrid Gasoline Vehicles Due to Coal-Fired Generation of Electricity

Green Car Congress

The researchers found that while EVs do offer a very promising solution to energy issues due to their replacement of petroleum fuels, for now “ the high pollution levels of coal-fired power plants will trade off EVs’ potential energy benefits in China ”. The power of EVs is electricity from the grid.

Role of Batteries in Clean Energy Transitions – ET Auto

Baua Electric

For instance, during periods of reduced solar irradiance or wind speed, traditional energy sources such as coal often experience a surge in production to meet demand. Yet, the inherent intermittency and variability of these sources pose a significant challenge to their widespread adoption. The concept of vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology.,

Why EVs Aren't a Climate Change Panacea

Cars That Think

For instance, Alexandre Milovanoff at the University of Toronto and his colleagues’ research (which is described in depth in a recent Spectrum article ) demonstrates the U.S. In states (or countries ) with a high proportion of coal-generated electricity, the miles needed to break-even climb more.
