In the future, autonomous vehicles and battery-powered technology could work together to create cleaner, more efficient roads. Some experts predict that gas-powered, self-driving vehicles could wreak havoc on the environment, causing a 200 percent increase in emissions. Electric Vehicles: Right Now. Maybe you’ve ridden in an EV.

While the manufacturing of ICEVs has seemingly stalled in reducing carbon emissions, EVs have a cleaner and ever-improving future ahead. In fact, our high levels of renewable energy mean the benefits from reducing EV emissions are greater than in most other countries and in some cases would produce 80% fewer greenhouse gas emissions.

The ideal (stoichiometric) air-fuel ratio is 14.7:1 This, in turn, reduces cooling losses.
