However, electric vehicles basically are emission-free at least when they are powered by electricity generated from renewable sources such as wind, solar, etc. 40 kWh battery EV is equal to diesel car. GWh in 2018 to about 132 GWh by 2030 at a CAGR of 35.5%. We will be looking at some of them in this article.
