MIT study finds EVs beat gas cars on emissions, even where coal powers the grid
Reported byThe Cool Down ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
An MIT life-cycle analysis found battery-electric cars produce less lifetime pollution than petrol and diesel models even on grids that lean heavily on coal, because electric motors are efficient enough to keep the advantage across manufacturing, fuelling and driving.
