The Union of Concerned Scientists notes that, whenever we talk about the great potential of electric vehicles (EVs) to reduce our oil use, rein in global warming emissions, and save consumers money at the pump, we always get the same question: how much will these vehicles really reduce emissions if they’re often plugged into electrical outlets that draw their power from dirty sources? Well now we know—a new UCS report finds that not only do EVs produce fewer emissions than average new compact gasoline powered cars, but nearly half of the U.S. population lives in a region where driving on electricity results in fewer emissions than even the best hybrids! Check out all the details and see how your region stacks up in UCS's State of Charge report.
