The Math Is In: EVs Are Cleaner Than Gas, And It's Not Even Close
Briefly

A new study indicates that electric vehicles (EVs) are significantly better for the environment than gasoline cars, producing 73% fewer total emissions over their lifespan. This research, conducted by the International Council on Clean Transportation, considers the environmental impact of all components, including battery production. The findings confirm that even with the emissions generated during manufacturing, EVs still provide substantial environmental benefits throughout their lifecycle. Additionally, Tesla investors are pressing for a timely annual shareholders meeting, while Ford aims to sell more EVs ahead of impending tax credit deadlines.
