How EVs Are Reducing Carbon (CO2) Emissions

Blink Charging

One avenue to combat this crisis is a rapid reduction in carbon emissions from our daily transportation, one of the leading contributors of CO 2 emissions. Enter electric vehicles: a practical step toward reducing carbon emissions and reinforcing sustainable practices. EVs are game changers in the reduction of vehicle emissions.

Electric vs. Gasoline Cars: Uncovering the Real Climate Savior

The Truth About Cars

One key distinction is that EVs produce no direct tailpipe emissions. However, the production of electricity for EV charging can result in carbon emissions, depending on the energy source. The carbon pollution from electricity varies based on local energy production methods.

3 Oil Majors That Bet Big On Renewables

Green Car Congress

Further, according to Rystad Energy, Big Oil is expected to pump in $166B into new oil and gas ventures over the next five years, thus dwarfing the currently specified outlay of just $18B (less than 10% of capex) for solar and wind energy projects. Good case in point: Italian multinational oil and gas giant Eni S.p.A.

PHEVLERs are the Zero CO2 Clean Green Machines of the Future

Green Car Congress

PHEVLERs produce no tailpipe emissions in local driving. The long electric range of the PHEVLER ensures that most if not all local driving will be emissions-free in population centers where air quality problems are greatest. PHEVLERs make our electric grid more efficient. [ PHEVLERs use the Existing Energy Infrastructure.

Are EVs Charged Mostly By Coal Power in the US?

EV Adoption

And hence, while electric vehicles themselves produce zero carbon emissions, charging them increases the amount of electricity generated from fossil fuel energy sources such as coal. I expect that the states with greenest grids will also continue to adopt EVs at a faster rate than high coal powered grid states.
