The Paris Agreement calls for global warming to be limited to 2 ?C Climate neutrality. Vehicles on the road, when powered by synthetic fuel, are ultimately climate-neutral. A compact electric car charged in Germany with renewable electricity from Germany converts around 60% to 70% of that grid power into road performance.
