Carbon Footprint of EVs Expected to Diminish Even More

Electric vehicles are swiftly transforming the landscape of the auto industry, but critics have noted how significant their emissions are from manufacturing to disposal despite being marketed as more environmentally friendly than gas. While they aren’t entirely wrong, the lifespan of an EV offers many years of emission-free driving — something that can’t be matched by those with internal combustion engines.

EVs produce high levels of emissions when produced and disposed of and coal remains the most significant power source used to create them, though that may not always be the case. Additionally, the zero-emission lifespan of an EV effectively erases the greenhouse gases created upon manufacturing, as detailed in several studies in recent years.
