The increase from 2012 to 2013 was due to an increase in the carbon intensity of fuels consumed to generate electricity due to an increase in coal consumption, with decreased natural gas consumption, according to the report. Total US emissions have increased by 5.9% from 1990 to 2013. The transportation end-use sector accounted for 1,743.0

The cost to operate an EV, per mile, is already well below the cost to drive a standard ICE-age model, and the advantage is likely to widen. The average US residential customer pays 12 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh) , which means the cost to drive one mile in an EV is somewhat less than 4 cents. New cars in 2015 get 25 mpg.)
