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.

Specific circumstances, such as the very warm fourth quarter of 2015 and relatively low natural gas prices, put downward pressure on emissions as natural gas was substituted for coal in electricity generation. According to the EIA, the 2015 increase in energy-related carbon dioxide emissions from the transportation sector was led by gasoline.

Earlier Bloomberg New Energy Finance analysis showed that, with gasoline at $2.09 per gallon, EV penetration in the US could reach 6% of the light-duty vehicle fleet by 2020, whereas with gasoline at $3.34, the EV share could be 9%. While diesel and oil-based power is still uneconomic at $60/barrel, the pressure to switch is reduced.
