Electric vehicles are more environmentally friendly than conventional vehicles. This is because electric vehicles produce fewer emissions than conventional fossil fuel-powered vehicles.
According to 2017 data from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM), pure electric vehicles (EVs) produce 0 grams/km of CO2 emissions. Meanwhile, Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs), or vehicles with a combination of fuel and a rechargeable battery, produce 45 grams/km of CO2 emissions.
Furthermore, Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) produce 70 grams/km of CO2 emissions. This emission is higher because HEVs still rely on gasoline combined with a battery charged by the engine. Conventional gasoline-powered vehicles contribute 125 grams/km of CO2 emissions.
