A US-wide county-level study comparing lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from several light-duty passenger gasoline and plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) has found that PEVs can have larger or smaller carbon footprints than gasoline vehicles depending on regional factors and the specific vehicle models being compared.

The plan also calls for accelerating the permitting for renewable power generation on public lands and upgrading the grid. Methane currently accounts for roughly 9% of domestic greenhouse gas emissions and has a global warming potential that is more than 20 times greater than carbon dioxide. Other efforts will include: Natural Gas.

EVs: Dispelling The Biggest EV Pollution Myth We often hear people saying that EVs are not capable of reducing pollution as they use power from the grid. The carbon footprint of operating an electric vehicle varies based on the source of its electricity since different states have different energy resources. But the good news?
