As states continue to use less coal for electricity, driving electric vehicles becomes even cleaner

Green Car Congress

NOVEMBER 10, 2021

Battery electric vehicles are only as clean as the energy source used to generate the electricity that powers them. Natural gas. This brief study analyzes, for each individual state, the changes from 2018 to 2020 in the use of coal (one of the two most polluting energy sources) to generate electricity. North Dakota.

3 Key EV Charging Infrastructure Issues that need to be Addressed

Clean Fleet Report

APRIL 1, 2024

Looking for Solutions for Juice for your Electric Car Many people love the environmental appeal of electric vehicles (EVs). EV infrastructure is much less widespread than gas stations—and the number of EV chargers is only part of the problem. However, they are less excited about the possibility of finding charging points.
