Are you curious about the environmental benefits of electric vehicles? The bottom line is that electric vehicles (EVs) are better for the environment over their lifetimes than gas powered cars (including hybrids). Electric cars are much more efficient than internal combustion engine cars. EVs convert over 85% of their energy into motion, compared with only 40% for gas cars. Whereas gas cars run 100% on gasoline, producing air pollution and climate changing emissions, EVs run on electricity and their emissions depend on the source of that electricity. As more electricity is produced with renewable and less polluting sources, EVs will get cleaner. Learn more about the benefits of electrification of transportation here.
