EVs mitigate a considerable amount of greenhouse gas emissions. As Trancik told me “In most locations, compared to [gas-powered vehicles], EVs produce emissions savings greater than 30%. Most savings are greater depending on the geographic location, the electricity supply, and the vehicle model.”
One such comparison yielded an EV that reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 57% compared to its gas-powered comparable vehicle.
How so? Using the Carbon Counter, I compared the greenhouse gas emissions per mile of the Hyundai Kona Electric ($37,190 and 201 HP HPQ +5.6%) to the comparable gas-powered Hyundai Kona AWD 1.6L ($23,600 and 175 HP).
