As states continue to use less coal for electricity, driving electric vehicles becomes even cleaner

Green Car Congress

Battery electric vehicles are only as clean as the energy source used to generate the electricity that powers them. The calculated relative amounts of well-to-wheels emissions of greenhouse gases from eight different energy sources are shown in the table below. Energy source. from coal. North Dakota.
