Why is powering an electric car via electric from fossil fuels better than powering a vehicle with fossil fuels directly?
In: Technology
Overall yes it is a drop in the bucket of emissions, but it does cut out a step that produces emissions. Gas stations recieve regular shipments of gasoline and diesel. Both are transported in large heavy trucks which themselves produce emissions. EV cuts out that step.
On top of that, charging cars (even if everyone has an EV) would barely increase the carbon footprint of a fossil fuel power plant.
