Battery electric cars emit less greenhouse gases and air pollutants over their entire life cycle than petrol and diesel cars, according to a European Environment Agency (EEA) report. In 2017, gasoline cars became more popular (53% of new registrations) than diesel cars (45%) for the first time since the monitoring started.

Emissions from this sector declined 18% in 2016, reflecting continued growth in renewable energy—such as solar, wind and geothermal—as a result of the state’s Renewables Portfolio Standard, and a corresponding drop in natural gas generation. Electricity generation had the largest decline among the sectors.

That’s to say nothing of pollution and climate change. Even were we to skirt around the hard limit of fossil fuels by switching to biofuels like diesel, pollution would be a severe problem…especially given that diesel emits anywhere between 25 to 400 times the level of many pollutants. But it’s not that easy.
