EV emissions are 3 timer better than ICE and Diesel vehicles

Electric cars will reduce CO2 emissions, even when considered coal-dependent energy source countries. This is the new findings by Transport & Environment (T&E). As expected, the cleaner the energy matrix is, greater gas emission reduction is.

“This tool puts to rest the myth that driving an electric car in Europe can be worse for the climate than an equivalent diesel or petrol. It’s simply not true. The most up-to-date data shows that electric cars in the EU emit almost three times less CO2 on average,” said T&E’s transport and E-Mobility analyst, Lucien Mathieu, in a statement.

“Electric cars will reduce CO2 emissions four-fold by 2030 thanks to an EU grid relying more and more on renewables. If European governments are serious about decarbonizing during the crisis recovery, they must speed up the transition to electric vehicles,” Mathieu says.
