One of the fastest ways to accelerate your transition to an eco-friendlier lifestyle is to switch to an electric vehicle (EV). According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions is from transportation. Electric vehicles are much cheaper to operate and maintain.

The use of compressed natural gas in vehicles yielded the least benefit, essentially matching the emissions of modern gasoline or diesel engines. Three direct substitution studies all showed far more favorable net impacts for replacing coal-fired electricity than for replacing gasoline or diesel vehicles.

In the United States, most of our use of fossil fuels is for transportation. Since most of America’s electricity still comes from fossil fuels, electric vehicles charged by that source of energy indirectly generate greenhouse gasses. A critical issue in decarbonization will also be the role of the electrical grid itself.

Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV) are similar to BEVs in that they have an electric-only powertrain, but they store energy differently. The fuel cell’s electricity then powers an electric motor, which drives the vehicle like a BEV. FCEVs store hydrogen gas in a tank rather than charging a battery.
