EV myths busted: Are electric vehicles actually good for the environment?

Drive Electric

A battery electric vehicle (BEV) uses an electric motor instead of an internal combustion engine. These vehicles use large traction battery packs to power the motor. Electric vehicles typically have a smaller operating carbon footprint than gasoline cars, even when accounting for the electricity used for charging.
