The upstream, “well to wheel” emissions of the EV are linked to electricity generation and the electrical grid, with lower emissions in regions that use more renewable energy sources. They can be charged using clean energy, reducing their environmental impact. Let’s not forget our carbon footprint.

Now, researchers at Microsoft have developed a framework called DeepMC that can very accurately predict local weather, and could be used by farmers, renewable energy producers, and others. Unfortunately, this is a common situation, especially when weather data comes from farther away. Of course, weather affects everyone.

Also, besides giving you the ability to charge at night when most utility rates are lower, future vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology may allow you to sell some of your stored energy back to the utilities. For instance, they may have solar panels on their roof or could, via their utility, opt for energy from renewable sources.
