If an EV is charged with electricity that is produced by burning fossil fuel such as coal or natural gas, there are still greenhouse gas emissions associated with running the vehicle. In fact, one study found that EV fleet managers could enjoy 75% reduction in maintenance costs after electrifying their fleet!

For the net transportation distance, several of the corn ethanol cases result in negative distances because the distance that could be traveled with the net fuel cycle inputs (petroleum via ICV and electricity, coal and natural gas via BEV) is greater than the distance that could be traveled with the gross ethanol output.

Solar EV Charging. While EVs don’t produce emissions, the electricity they use could be produced from a coal or gas-powered power plant. Therefore, with the rapid growth of demand for EVs, the charging situation has also shown a new trend – Solar EV Charging. In most cases, solar EV charging costs less than grid charging.
