The national average is 4,815 pounds (2,184 kg) of CO 2 -equivalent emissions for a typical EV per year as compared to the average gasoline-powered car which produces 11,435 pounds (5,187 kg) of CO 2 -equivalent emissions annually. from coal, making it the state with the most well-to-wheel CO 2 -equivalent emissions.

by Michael Sivak, Sivak Applied Research The overall advantage of battery electric over gasoline vehicles, in terms of well-to-wheels emissions of greenhouse gases, has been well documented. On the two extremes, coal and oil result in about 176 times the emissions from hydro. Nuclear 0 0 Wind 2.5 Natural gas 87.9 Geothermal 16.5

Low global oil inventories coupled with continued high demand for gasoline, diesel, and other petroleum products means that increased production likely won’t have much impact on prices in the short term. Other key findings from the May 2022 STEO forecast include: Solar and wind power will provide 11.1% in summer 2021.

Natural gas does not offer climate benefits compared to gasoline and diesel, and many biofuel pathways do not, either. Drivers of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles rely too much on the gasoline engine for this pathway to be a long-term climate solution, the ICCT said. Source: The ICCT.

The magnitude of these savings is ~5% to 15% higher in a system with 20% wind penetration compared to a system with no wind power, and the savings are 50–60% higher in a system that requires capacity expansion. Controlled charging can also take advantage of the high levels of wind generation that commonly occur at night in the US.

Oil demand grew by less than 1%—the slowest rate amongst fossil fuels—while gas grew by 2.2%, and coal was the only fossil fuel with above average annual consumption growth at 5.4% Coal was again the fastest growing fossil fuel with predictable consequences for carbon emissions; it now accounts for 30.3% globally, and 8.4%
