Electric cars emit 50% less greenhouse gas than diesel, study finds
A Belgian University did a full life cycle analysis of EVs vs diesel cars and found on average 50% less greenhouse gas than diesel cars. In Sweden it's 85% less and about half for most of Europe.
Interesting note:
"As battery technology improves and more renewables enter the electricity grid, emissions from battery production itself could be cut by 65%, the study found."
