Toyota to debut 2 BEVs, 1 PHEV for US this year; says research shows BEVs & PHEVs have similar environmental benefits

Green Car Congress

Toyota shared highlights of new internal research evaluating the environmental impact and cost of ownership between a PHEV and a BEV. Using the “Greenhouse gases, Regulated Emissions, and Energy use in Technologies” (GREET) model, researchers found that the production of a PHEV emits less GHG since it uses a smaller, lighter weight battery.

How EVs Are Reducing Carbon (CO2) Emissions

Blink Charging

Unlike internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, EVs emit no direct emissions when running on electricity. The upstream, “well to wheel” emissions of the EV are linked to electricity generation and the electrical grid, with lower emissions in regions that use more renewable energy sources. Let’s not forget our carbon footprint.
