by Michael Sivak, Sivak Applied Research The overall advantage of battery electric over gasoline vehicles, in terms of well-to-wheels emissions of greenhouse gases, has been well documented. However, the emissions of electric vehicles depend greatly on the energy source used to generate the electricity that powers them. Natural gas 87.9

The roadblocks to affordable and effective charging infrastructure that are sometimes posed by traditional utility models have the potential to be overcome through a new type of entity called a Tribal Energy Development Organization, or TEDO. With the designation, Tribes have a greater say in the way electricity is delivered and managed.
