Electric vs. Gasoline Cars: Uncovering the Real Climate Savior

The Truth About Cars

For instance, electricity generated from coal or natural gas is associated with higher carbon emissions, while renewable sources like wind or solar energy contribute negligible carbon pollution. The carbon pollution from electricity varies based on local energy production methods.

Goodenough perspective on Li-ion batteries; in transportation, PHEVs for the near-term, longer term requires new electrochemical strategies

Green Car Congress

A first step will be plug-in hybrids [PHEVs] used for daily commuting. Stationary storage of electrical energy from alternative energy sources (wind, solar, nuclear) calls for larger capacities than can be realized with an oxide-host cathode, but the energy density requirement of a mobile battery is relaxed.

EIA projects decline in transportation sector energy consumption through 2037 despite increase in VMT, followed by increase

Green Car Congress

The combined share of sales attributable to gasoline and flex-fuel vehicles (which use gasoline blended with up to 85% ethanol) declines from 93% in 2018 to 75% in 2050 because of the growth in battery electric vehicle (BEV), plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), and hybrid electric vehicle sales. Other findings.

NREL and partners to investigate secondary uses for electric drive vehicle batteries

Green Car Congress

The cost of Li-ion batteries currently affects the affordability of plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles (PHEV/EV) for consumers. While these PHEV/EV batteries degraded to 70%-80% of their original power/capacity are insufficient for automotive use, these aged batteries may still be useful and could be reused in other applications.
