Nope. They still don’t. Maybe I am publishing this just as a reminder, bringing to the forefront the real facts through all the talk about green initiatives and advancement, not to mention all the misleading advertising. I don’t think we are as far along as most think, and here is why. This article from Autonews refers to a study that reveals the true “green” status of electric cars. Half of the energy produced in the US still comes from coal. So, while there is no exhaust that pours out from a tailpipe, electric cars’ energy sources produce twice the carbon dioxide and many times more pollutants, such as particulates and smog components, than Natural Gas. So, currently, although it may not have the perception of such, gasoline cars are more “green” than EV’s.
This study is not new information, just a reality refresher. Don’t get me wrong though. The progress is in the right direction. However, additional focus is needed in shifting away from coal, a dirty black energy producer, in order take advantage of storing energy in batteries. And the more this is accomplished the more we are on are way to build a sustainable and healthy society. Chevy Volt Review
