Question: What about the electricity required to fuel an electric car?
Answer: Many people question how green electricity production required to power an electric car really is.
Research by the European Energy Agency found that, even with electricity generation, the carbon emissions of an electric car are around 17 – 30% lower than driving a petrol or diesel car. The emissions from electricity generation are also dramatically improved when low carbon electricity is used.
That’s good news for our customers. Here at EDF we produce more low-carbon electricity than any other supplier in the UK(1). The GoElectric tariff is also generated from 100% renewable sources, helping electric car drivers to make more informed choices about how they charge up, maximising their environmental impact whilst driving.
