Greenhouse Gas Emissions for Electric and Plug-In Hybrid
Electric Vehicles The only greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from
electric vehicle are those associated with electricity
production. Shown below are the grams of carbon dioxide (CO2)
per mile for your region of the country. Your CO2 Emissions
Rates Purchasing green power could lower your CO2 emissions.
Tell me more. GHG emissions vary based on how the electricity is
produced. For example, electricity produced from coal will
likely result in significantly higher GHG emissions than
electricity produced from renewable sources like wind. The total
CO2 emissions rate for this vehicle in your region is 130 grams
per mile. The national average for this vehicle is 200 grams per
mile. The total CO2 emissions rate for the average gasoline car
is 500 grams per mile. *Total emissions rate includes tailpipe
emissions and the emissions associated with the production and
distribution of fuel. Emissions associated with electric
operation are estimated using recent electri
