EVs Outshine Gas Cars in Emissions After Initial Production Impact, Study Finds

A recent study reveals that despite the initial environmental impact of manufacturing electric vehicles and their batteries, EVs significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions compared to gasoline cars over their lifetime.

• The study shows that Electric vehicle emissions are lower than gasoline cars after just two years of use, despite high initial energy consumption during Electric battery production.
• Research from Duke University indicates that Gasoline vehicles generate at least double the environmental damage over their lifespan compared to Electric vehicles.
• Northern Arizona University contributed to the findings, predicting that the environmental benefits of EVs will improve as renewable energy sources like solar and wind become more prevalent.
