Demand for electric vehicles is increasing daily worldwide, especially after Tesla and Chinese brands. Interest in electric vehicles has also increased significantly in our country following the production of Togg. Research on this topic is ongoing, and according to recent statements, electric vehicles provide 73 percent cleaner greenhouse gas emissions than internal combustion engines, despite the need for battery production. Here are the details.

Electric Vehicles Will Be Even Cleaner

The International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT) has announced that electric cars sold in Europe today produce 73 percent less greenhouse gas emissions than gasoline-powered cars, even when battery production is factored in.

A 2021 study reported this figure as 59 percent. While significant progress has been made in four years, it is predicted that the vehicle will become even cleaner. While this trend continues to improve in electric vehicles, little progress has been made in hybrid and plug-in hybrid models.

EVs appear to be a solution to Europe’s strict stance on emissions in recent years. While almost 75 percent of pollution comes from internal combustion vehicles, this problem is significantly reduced with electric vehicles.

“BATTERY-ELECTRIC CARS in Europe are becoming cleaner faster than we expected and are outpacing all other technologies, including hybrids and plug-in hybrids,” ICCT researcher Dr. Marta Negri said in a statement.

European energy production is also shifting towards renewable energy sources, with production projected to be 38 percent in 2020. By 2025, this figure is projected to rise to 56 percent, with more than half of Europe’s electricity coming from renewable energy.
