EVs offer advantages in terms of powertrain efficiency, maintenance requirements, and zero tailpipe emissions, the last of which contributes to reducing urban air pollution relative to conventional internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs). This has led to a general perception of EVs as an environmentally benign technology.

Plug-In Hybrids Are Cleaner (Even on a Coal Grid) [ to top ] This entire section is finally obsolete -- because we now have a definitive study by the Electric Power Research Institute and the Natural Resources Defense Council. This means the more maintenance-free electrical systems of PHEVs offset the initial higher cost of batteries.

Appendix B: Car of the Future: A Comparison of Alternative Vehicles. The combination of harvesting whole forests and burning long-sequestered carbon sources such as coal or oil has impaired the Earth’s carbon cycle at an increasing pace. More information on e-mile comparisons is given by Reference Nº 2. Conclusions. slow charge.

Also maintenance on these (no oil changes to speak of) etc will cost much less than an internal combution propelled car. How about using a competition sailplane for comparison, instead? With this price I can buy a nice used C200 class Mercedes and still have money to afford Gas……uuuuuugh. — Volt Enthusiast 7.
