Electric Vehicle And Net Zero Carbon Future

Well, if you build a car that runs on electricity, people will come to use it.

It's a big debate these days:

  • Are EVs zero-emission vehicles?
  • Is the process from procurement to production eco-friendly?

Characteristics of Electric Vehicle

Lower Carbon Emissions

EVs emit no emissions at the tailpipe. Using an electric vehicle instead of one with an Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) completely removes any direct emissions.

This has a significant positive impact on our air quality, particularly in major cities. The fact that EVs produce 15% more emissions during production than gasoline-powered vehicles does not change the fact that they produce less CO2 while in use. However, this is the reason there is already a movement to employ recycled components to reduce the lifecycle emissions of electric vehicles.

Energy Efficient

To meet the environmental goals from manufacturing to end-user, embodied energy emissions from EVs are significantly more crucial. Electric cars waste less energy, especially when driving around town. An electric motor is simply more efficient than an internal combustion engine, so more energy from the battery is used to power the car.

Lower Air Pollution

There are also no tailpipe emissions of air pollutants such as nitrogen oxides and particulate…
