Carbon emissions from generating electricity for electric vehicles vary greatly across the individual US states

Green Car Congress

These results indicate that coal and oil are the energy sources leading to most emissions, and that hydro, wind, and nuclear are the energy sources leading to least emissions. Therefore, biomass as energy source was assumed to produce no additional carbon emission. Geothermal 0 0 Solar 0 8.8 Nuclear 0 0 Wind 2.5
