Battery electric cars emit less greenhouse gases and air pollutants over their entire life cycle than petrol and diesel cars, according to a European Environment Agency (EEA) report. For local air quality, electric vehicles also offer clear benefits, mainly due to zero exhaust emissions at street level.
