Better for Arizona

Zero Tailpipe Emissions.

Electric vehicles have no tailpipe and release no direct exhaust while you drive. Every electric mile means cleaner streets, healthier neighborhoods, and less pollution in the air we share.

No gasoline exhaust
Cleaner neighborhood air
Lower direct emissions

What is not coming out of your vehicle matters.

Every time a gasoline or diesel vehicle starts, it releases exhaust into the surrounding air. Electric vehicles change that equation. With no combustion engine and no tailpipe, a battery-electric vehicle produces zero direct tailpipe emissions while it is being driven.

Combustion creates exhaust. Electric driving does not.

The difference is especially meaningful in the neighborhoods, downtown corridors, school zones, and busy roads where people live, work, walk, and breathe.

Gasoline and diesel vehicles

Fuel is burned inside the vehicle.

Combustion creates exhaust that is released directly into the surrounding community every time the vehicle is operated.

Battery-electric vehicles

Electricity moves the vehicle.

There is no gasoline engine, no diesel engine, and no tailpipe releasing direct exhaust as you travel.

Zero direct tailpipe emissions
No exhaust at intersections or stoplights
Cleaner air where the vehicle is driven

Cleaner transportation benefits the entire community.

The impact extends beyond the person behind the wheel. Reducing vehicle exhaust can help improve the places where everyone spends time.

01

Cleaner local air

With no tailpipe exhaust, electric vehicles do not release direct combustion pollution along neighborhood streets, parking areas, or congested roadways.

02

Healthier neighborhoods

Cutting local exhaust helps reduce the pollution burden around homes, schools, workplaces, parks, and other community gathering places.

03

Less urban smog

Replacing combustion-powered miles with electric miles helps reduce the transportation emissions that contribute to poor air quality.

04

A quieter experience

Electric motors operate with far less engine noise, creating a calmer driving experience and reducing noise along local roads.

05

Cleaner energy potential

As the electric grid adds more renewable power, the energy used to charge an EV can become cleaner over the vehicle’s lifetime.

06

Better future choices

Every electric vehicle placed on the road helps demonstrate that transportation can be practical, enjoyable, and less polluting.

Arizona sunshine makes electric driving even brighter.

Electric vehicles use energy from the power grid rather than burning fuel inside the vehicle. As Arizona continues to use its abundant solar resources and add cleaner electricity, the environmental advantage of driving electric can grow.

Drivers with home solar may also be able to charge using energy produced directly from Arizona sunshine, connecting cleaner transportation with locally generated power.

Every mile driven on electricity is a mile traveled without gasoline or diesel exhaust coming from the vehicle.

Electric vehicles do more than move us. They help clear the air ahead.

Zero tailpipe emissions mean cleaner streets, healthier communities, and a transportation system that can continue becoming cleaner as Arizona’s energy resources evolve.
