Electric Vehicles and Global Warming Emissions

Electric vehicles (EVs) burn no gasoline and have no tailpipe emissions, but producing the electricity used to charge them does generate global warming emissions. The amount of these emissions, however, varies significantly based on the mix of energy sources used to power a region's electricity grid. For example, coal-fired power plants produce nearly twice the global warming emissions of natural gas-fired power plants, while renewable sources like wind and solar power produce virtually no emissions at all. The UCS report,  State of Charge: Electric Vehicles' Global Warming Emissions and Fuel-Cost Savings Across the United States,  compares the global warming emissions from EVs with those from gasoline-powered vehicles and finds that: Nationwide, EVs charged from the electricity grid produce lower global warming emissions than the average compact gasoline-powered vehicle (with a fuel economy of 27 miles per gallon)—even when the electricity is produced primarily from ...

Cons of Natural Gas Cars

Shorter driving range. Lower energy content results in a shorter driving range, compared to regular gas-powered vehicles. Minimal cargo space. Trunk space is often taken up by the large gas-storage tanks. Less performance . Natural gas provides less mileage than gasoline. Reduced speed.  These cars have less horse power, resulting in slower speeds. Few fueling stations. There are few refueling stations – many operated by fleets and not open to the public. Also, the pumps are more difficult to operate and it takes longer to fill your car. https://blog.nationwide.com/pros-cons-of-different-vehicle-types/
