Why EVs Help in Combating Climate Change

Despite the challenges that the electric vehicle industry has faced in recent months, most experts agree that EVs will have a notable effect on global greenhouse gas emissions. By replacing the conventional internal combustion engine with a battery pack and electric drivetrain, automakers can cut down tailpipe emissions to zero, allowing the auto industry to significantly reduce its impact on the environment.

Unfortunately, there are a myriad of obstacles preventing widespread electric vehicle adoption. In addition to the incredibly high cost of purchasing a new EV, the current Trump administration is systematically removing Biden-era policies that supported electric vehicle purchases and invested in public EV infrastructure, a series of moves that will undoubtedly have major consequences for U.S. electrification.

This will most likely put the U.S. behind other major markets in terms of electric vehicle adoption and hinder the country’s progress in the green transition. With the automobile industry contributing to at least one-third of greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S., a slow transition to battery electric cars will make it more difficult for the country to reduce the damage it does to the environment.

Even though the auto industry cannot eliminate the emissions associated with mining and manufacturing electric vehicle components, an electric drivetrain can help drivers eliminate their tailpipe emissions. This alone would improve air quality in urban areas and help to reduce the instances of respiratory diseases. In the long term, cutting tailpipe emissions would help the U.S., historically the largest polluter, combat climate change.

Data shows that driving an average electric car in the United States produces as much carbon dioxide emissions as a hypothetical 100 MPG gas-powered car. A comparison between an electric car and a fossil fuel-powered alternative by the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) found that 45% of U.S. residents lived in a region where driving an electric car would have less atmospheric heating emissions compared to a 50 MPG petrol or diesel car.

More recent comparisons by the UCS have found that 97% of the country now lives in areas where the average electric car produces fewer emissions than the most efficient fossil fuel vehicle. The most efficient electric vehicle in the country also produces fewer greenhouse gas emissions than every other vehicle type, including non-plug-in hybrids.

Regions that are overwhelmingly powered by clean energy typically register very low emissions from electric cars. Furthermore, EVs are still cleaner than gas-powered vehicles even when driven in regions that mostly rely on fossil fuel energy, such as Texas, where more than 60% of the electricity is generated from fossil fuels.

Electric vehicles, such as those made by Mullen Automotive Inc. (NASDAQ: MULN), remain a crucial solution in the fight against climate change. They reduce tailpipe emissions, improve air quality, and offer a cleaner alternative, even in fossil fuel-dominant regions. With the right leadership, America could accelerate its electrification efforts and cut its greenhouse gas emissions by a wide margin.
