A Californian cradle-to-grave analysis has shown that electric vehicles create fewer greenhouse gas emissions than even the most fuel-efficient gasoline vehicles. The study, published in Environmental Research Letters, found that a typical car with an all-electric range of about 100 miles emits less carbon dioxide per mile driven than one powered by gasoline.
A Californian cradle-to-grave analysis has shown that electric vehicles create fewer greenhouse gas emissions than even the most fuel-efficient gasoline vehicles. The results from the study, published yesterday by the Union of Concerned Scientists, even took into account the power plant emissions created by producing the electricity to power the EV.
