Research shows that electric vehicles are less polluting than combustion vehicles

carros elétricos poluição combustão ICCT

One of the biggest questions about electric vehicles is the level of pollution they generate. If they are naturally less polluting, many argue that this situation only applies when they are used and that electricity generation needs to be considered.

Since several studies have already been done in this area, the arguments were on both sides. New research by the International Council for Clean Transport (ICCT) confirms that electric vehicles are even less polluting than combustion-powered vehicles.


eternal war of numbers

One of the main arguments for the commitment to electric vehicles is their level of pollution. Using only electricity, they do not emit all pollutants into the atmosphere, therefore more environmentally friendly...

The truth is that with these arguments, there are always conflicting arguments suggesting that the production of batteries and electricity will eventually cease. change this script... The use of coal and other fossil fuels makes these electric offerings much more polluting.

Greener electric vehicles

To assess these scenarios, ICCT provided a study that assessed all variableslooking at all the markets for electric vehicles. So, when evaluating the markets of the USA, Europe, China and India, the conclusion is obvious. Electric vehicles are less polluting and less polluting. "all life"...

Naturally, the levels at which they are presented largely depend on the markets in which they are created and sold, always depending on the method of generating electricity. This is the factor that matters the most for the difference in pollution levels between electric vehicles and vehicles with combustion engines.

ICCT research evaluates all aspects

Research figures show that in Europe, the lifetime emissions of an electric vehicle are on average 66-69% lower than that of a gasoline car. In the case of China and India, the difference is smaller - from 37 to 45% and from 19 to 34%, respectively. These markets are losing out due to pollution caused by energy production.

The study went further and provided some predictions for the future, mostly very positive. By 2030, differences in pollution levels are expected to widen to 74–77% in Europe, 62 to 76% in the US, 48 to 64% in China, and 30 to 56% in India.

Are there any more reasons for internal combustion engines?

This new study is important because it takes into account many of the arguments presented by both sides. It covers all processes, not just consumption and daily use. We looked at energy production processes that are often ignored.

This provides new arguments and evidence that electric vehicles are less polluting than vehicles with combustion engines. There is still a lot of work to be done to optimize them, especially in areas that are often not visible and are important in assessing them. The battle between fans of electric vehicles and those who consider them just new is open again, but with new data.

The first Dacia hybrid.  "The cheapest hybrid family on the market"

BUT Dacia revealed this Monday that the hybrid engine has been available since March on the Jogger, the Romanian brand’s model known to be available with a seven-seat variant.

The Jogger Hybrid 140, Dacia’s first hybrid, will hit dealerships in March, but customers can expect and order it as early as January.

The price has been revealed by Dacia and since it’s only available in the seven-seater SL Extreme, it starts at €28,800. The brand claims it is “the most affordable hybrid family car on the market.”

Available in six existing colors to celebrate the launch of this hybrid, there will be a slate gray version, as you can see in the images above.

Equipped with a 1.6 liter four-cylinder petrol engine with 90 hp, the Jogger is also powered by two electric motors (a 50 hp engine and a high-voltage starter-generator). The total power is 140 horsepower. The electric transmission is automatic, four-speed, connected to an internal combustion engine, and two speeds are connected to an electric motor. This combined technology was possible, according to Dacia, only due to the lack of clutch.

Combined with the energy recovery levels of the 1.2kWh (230V) battery pack and the efficiency of the automatic transmission, regenerative braking delivers all-electric traction on 80% of urban journeys and saves up to 40% of fuel compared to a combustion engine vehicle.
