If you drive an SUV in Southern California those miles cost over 30 cents each.). The first eye-opener for large scale solar was the Austin Energy PPA last year that was priced at 5 cents. The calculation for rooftop solar is not quite as straightforward as multiplying the number of kilowatts by the number of hours of sun in a year.

In the coming years, GM plans to offer an EV for every customer, from crossovers and SUVs to trucks and sedans. The company is implementing plans today to reduce the impact associated with its supply chain while supporting grids and utilities to power electric vehicles with renewable energy.

The Environmental Protection Agency notes that in recent years, trends in the vehicle market shifted from smaller sedans and wagons to SUVs and pickup trucks, with SUVs making up 45% and pickups making up 15% of the model year 2021 light-duty vehicle market in the United States. Let’s not forget our carbon footprint.

BEVs fueled on today’s average grid electricity are 105-124 g CO2/km. BEVs fueled by a fully renewable grid go down to 41 g CO2/km. Electrification of light-duty road vehicles — cars, SUVs, and small trucks — will address more than half of the sector’s CO2 emissions. The post What is Decarbonization? appeared first on Driivz.

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. In the US, 36% of electricity is generated using renewables, including wind, solar, and hydropower, as well as non-CO2-emitting nuclear power.

Increasingly, they are making inroads in transportation and grid storage applications. The number of available electric-vehicle (EV) models jumped from about ten in 2015 to over 75 in 2020, including categories of sports cars, sedans, SUVs and light trucks. Automotive companies and their supply chain are inexorably transforming.

One week earlier, former Vice President Al Gore issued his well-received challenge to make the American grid 100% renewable in ten years. Meanwhile, GM is hedging its bets by continuing to invest in the dream of cheap, cellulosic ethanol and the hallucinogenic pipe dream of hydrogen fuel cell SUVs.

With most of Canada’s electricity coming from low-emitting hydro and nuclear sources and growing solar and wind generation, the greenhouse gas emissions reduction opportunity is huge. If an EV battery is not repurposed, it can be recycled, with the raw materials removed and reused, reducing the environmental footprint further.

If our country is going to spend money like a drunk sailor we should have spent it on building renewable energy power plants like Wind and Geothermal. Denmark did that with Wind Power and now most of their energy comes from wind rather than oil, natural gas, or coal. We are facing a big problem with global warming.
