Lower Your Carbon Footprint.
Electric vehicles produce substantially fewer lifetime emissions than comparable gasoline vehicles—and they become even cleaner as more renewable energy is added to the electric grid.
EVs vs. Gas Cars
The environmental advantage begins on day one.
Manufacturing every vehicle requires energy, but over its full lifetime, an electric vehicle can avoid many tons of carbon pollution by replacing gasoline with increasingly cleaner electricity.
Cleaner Transportation
Less carbon with every electric mile.
Lower lifetime emissions
EVs can generate significantly less climate pollution across manufacturing, driving, energy production and disposal.
Cleaner every year
As utilities add solar, wind and other low-carbon energy, existing electric vehicles automatically become cleaner to operate.
Tons of pollution avoided
Replacing thousands of gallons of gasoline over a vehicle’s lifetime can prevent substantial carbon emissions.
Why Carbon Reduction Matters
Transportation choices have global consequences.
Lowering emissions can help slow warming, reduce pressure on polar ice and oceans, and decrease the risk of disruptive climate tipping points.
Glaciers are rapidly losing mass.
Rising temperatures are accelerating ice loss from mountain glaciers and major ice sheets around the world.
270+ billion tons of glacier ice lost in an average yearSea levels are continuing to rise.
Melting land ice and warming ocean water are contributing to higher seas and increased risks for coastal communities.
4+ inches of global sea-level rise since 1993Major ocean systems are under stress.
Warming seas and melting ice can influence currents such as the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, affecting rainfall, storms and regional weather.
Lower emissions can help reduce the risk of dangerous climate disruptionThe Bottom Line
Electric vehicles are the better long-term choice.
Choosing electric helps reduce transportation emissions today while supporting an even cleaner energy future.
Lower Carbon
Less climate pollution and reduced long-term climate risk.
Protect Ice and Seas
Lower emissions can help slow warming, ice loss and sea-level rise.
Cleaner Every Year
EVs benefit from every improvement made to the electric grid.
