🔍 Ever wondered how electric vehicles (EVs) stack up against gasoline cars in terms of environmental impact? Let's dive into some fascinating data from a 7-year study! 🌏
📊 Key Comparisons:
Annual Mileage: 24,100 km - typical driving in Cyprus!
Fuel Economy for Gasoline Cars: 5 L/100km.
Electricity Consumption for EVs: 19 kWh/100km.
🏭 Manufacturing Emissions:
EVs: 8,000 kg of CO2e per vehicle.
Gasoline Cars: 6,500 kg of CO2e per vehicle.
Note: EVs start with a higher 'environmental debt' due to battery production.
🌬️ Operating Emissions:
EVs on Regular Grid: 1,800 kg of CO2e annually.
EVs on 100% Renewable Energy: Virtually zero emissions!
Gasoline Cars: A whopping 12,615,400 kg of CO2e annually.
📉 Total Emissions Over 7 Years:
EVs (Regular Grid): 20,600 kg of CO2e.
EVs (100% Renewable): Only 8,000 kg of CO2e.
Gasoline Cars: 88,314,000 kg of CO2e - that's a lot!
⚡ Efficiency Tale:
EVs are much more efficient with 19 kWh/100km compared to gasoline vehicles.
🌿 Conclusion:
Electric vehicles, especially when powered by renewable energy, are the clear environmental champions. Despite a higher initial manufacturing emission, their operational emissions are drastically lower. This means over time, EVs help reduce our carbon footprint significantly, a crucial step towards a greener future.
