In the US , the contribution is 28%, with light-duty vehicles – cars, SUVs, and small trucks – responsible for 59% of transportation emissions and 17% of all US emissions. EVs will be greener in Washington state, where almost half of electricity comes from hydropower, than in Wyoming, where electric generation is primarily fueled by coal.

And that reaction was from an auto company that is taking a "go slow" approach to using grid electricity as a "fuel" for cars. Based on the science, they should have long ago made clear to their members and policy makers that a plug-in car driving on the grid today is cleaner than a gas car. Let's be clear.

Despite an increase in light-duty truck and SUV sales, these vehicle types only accounted for 1.9 million MTCO 2 e) actually outpaced that of light-duty trucks and SUVs. The decade-long nationwide slide in emissions from power production reflects the electric power sector shifting away from coal and toward less carbon-intensive fuels.

Coal still supplies more power in the US than anything else, with natural gas next. However, building more coal and gas power plants to make miles for transport is counter-productive if the game plan is to reduce carbon output. If you drive an SUV in Southern California those miles cost over 30 cents each.). Click to enlarge.

If everyone could hear Ed talk about the smart grid and how plug-in cars make it possible to inventory electricity then we’d already be building that grid today. People use them every day in every way to do what they need a small SUV to do. That “V2G&# over the wheel stands for Vehicle to Grid. Imagine that.

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. Three more points: Both reports match up well with previous studies. The GREET 1.6

In the climate-targeted scenarios, they assumed that electrified vehicles receive their electricity from an 80% decarbonized electricity grid. They considered state-specific contributions from nine generating technologies: coal, oil, natural gas, hydro, biogas, geothermal, nuclear, wind, and solar. billion gallon) and 4540 PJ (56.4
