What Are Zero Emission Day and National Drive Electric Week?

Blink Charging

There are four guidelines to follow: Refrain from using or burning oil, gas or coal. If an EV is charged with electricity that is generated from renewable sources (such as solar, wind, geothermal, or hydroelectric), then there are no fossil fuel emissions associated with that charging or driving process. Watch an EV parade.

per gallon, EV penetration in the US could reach 6% of the light-duty vehicle fleet by 2020, whereas with gasoline at $3.34, the EV share could be 9%. Improvements in gas mileage and reductions in miles driven per person have had more impact on cutting US oil imports than unconventional production. The share is less than 1% now.

ExxonMobil Outlook: 35% growth in energy demand by 2040; hybrids to account for ~50% of new vehicle sales

Green Car Congress

By 2040, hybrids are expected to account for about 35% of the global light-duty vehicle fleet, up from less than 1% in 2010. However, looking ahead, about 80% of the growth in the global fleet will come from non-OECD countries. As a result, the average efficiency of the world’s vehicle fleet is projected to reach about 46 mpg (about 5.1
