Battery Electric Cars – electricity-powered, and grid-charged engines.Plug-In Hybrid Cars – gasoline-powered engine combined with an electrically-charged battery.Unless a company suddenly comes out with a Fred-Flintstone-style car, all new vehicles (and especially those with electrically charged batteries) have a very heavy carbon footprint.Ĭurrently, zero-emission cars are grouped into three main categories or designs, namely:
Do Zero Emission Cars Exist?Īlthough the term is used, zero emissions cars are still a long way off. This complete review outlines which vehicles that claim “zero emissions” are the best, and which are the worst for the planet. In fact, some of these vehicles are much more damaging to the planet than traditional internal combustion engine cars, when you account for the horrific wastes produced by unregulated coal generated electrical power, and the dangerous, toxic substances that leech into ground water from the disposal of the batteries. There is no such thing as a zero emission vehicle (unless you count bicycles) because the manufacturing and ‘charging’ of the vehicle creates emissions, and so does the waste disposal. Recently, there’s been a lot of claims about zero emissions cars.
