Driving with the sun: Why environmentally benign electric vehicles must plug in at renewables

摘要: Abstract In recent years electric vehicles (EVs) have been promoted in many countries. Their use has recognized as a way for reduction of GHG emissions from transport sector. They are often called zero-emission vehicles. However, this can be only true the point where some types EVs zero-emissions. But looking at whole energy supply chain is not any type EVs. The major contribution paper to investigate environmental benignity various EVs, their economics and corresponding promotion policies implemented results conclusions are: (i) All contribute CO2 compared conventional gasoline or diesel cars with exemption powered by electricity generated purely old coal power plants; (ii) Yet, harvest full benefits really heading toward sustainability it most important ensure that using renewable sources; (iii) implementation proper could increase number continuous environmentally friendly support strategies depend on carbon content used cars.
