EV myths busted: Are electric vehicles actually good for the environment?

Drive Electric

Because EVs run on electricity, the vehicle emits no exhaust from a tailpipe and does not contain the typical liquid fuel components in ICEVs. A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) contains both an electric powertrain and an internal combustion engine. . These vehicles use large traction battery packs to power the motor.
