Coal, oil and gas are the biggest contributors to climate change. Figures published by the UN found that fossil fuels produce 75% of the world’s greenhouse gases, and up to 90% of global carbon emissions. To mitigate against the impact of climate change, carbon emissions need to…

Data published by Carbon Brief in 2020 found that over its whole lifetime, the total greenhouse gas emissions emitted from manufacturing, charging and driving a typical EV were lower than those associated with an average European car running on petrol or diesel.…

Addressing climate change cannot be delayed, given the rise in global temperatures and increase in extreme weather patterns. It’s not just the environment that feels the strain, but the global economy too. Studies predict that the US could lose $500 billion annually by 2090 if…

The UN 2020 Production Gap Report affirmed that fossil fuel production needs to be reduced by 6% annually to fight the climate crisis. EVs can already run on 100% renewable electricity and thus help reduce the impact of global warming, but we have been warned we need to act…

The number of public EV charging points across the globe is growing by the day. Figures gathered by the International Energy Agency found there were 2.7 million worldwide at the end of last year – an increase of 55% from 2021’s numbers. (iea.org/reports/global…)

Figures published by the AA in the UK this year showed that the running cost of an EV is now estimated to be two thirds of what it takes to run a petrol or diesel car, based on current average electricity and fuel prices. As more renewable energy is added to the global…

Research shows that a mid-size EV in fact has a lower carbon footprint over its lifetime than a mid-size vehicle with an internal combustion engine – something that should improve over time as more electricity is generated by renewable energy sources. Carbon emission savings in…

The environmental and human impacts of climate change are growing, with increases in extreme weather and global temperatures. The IPCC states that the emissions from fossil fuels need to be reduced by 50% in a decade in order to limit global warming to 1.5°C. The use of EVs…

Even taking into account the electricity generation required to charge them, figures published in 2020 by the International Energy Agency showed that carbon emissions associated with electric vehicles could be almost half of those produced by cars with an internal combustion…

Today EVs often cost more than Internal Combustion Engine vehicles to purchase. However, EV prices are coming down all the time and they are usually cheaper to run, saving money in the long-term. In the UK, second-hand EVs are now priced similarly to their petrol and diesel…
