Battery electric vehicles are only as clean as the energy source used to generate the electricity that powers them. The calculated relative amounts of well-to-wheels emissions of greenhouse gases from eight different energy sources are shown in the table below. Proportional amount of emissions relative to hydro.

Contribution of modeled CO 2 emissions from SOC to the life cycle of biofuel from corn residue. The findings cast doubt on whether biofuels produced from corn residue can be used to meet federal mandates for cellulosic biofuels to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 60% compared to gasoline. Error bars are ± one standard deviation.
