The ICCT did a comprehensive study on battery electric vehicles and their connection to greenhouse gas emissions. While electric cars require more energy to build, this number is small compared to how significant their gas emissions reductions could be.


Discussion Questions

Do you support the development of electric vehicles? Would you buy one if you know they significantly reduced carbon emissions?
