EV CO2 Calculator – Get the *REAL* Grams/Mile Figure
Calculate the CO2 emitted by an EV in grams/km with this EV CO2 calculator. Enter the batter capacity in KWH, the percentage of charged used, and the mileage covered on this percentage of charge.
The numbers indicate the actual amount of CO2 emitted to power the electric vehicle.
Do EVs Emit CO2?
Not directly, but the energy produced to charge them did emit CO2 in the power generation process ie power stations. This is what this CO2 calculator calculates, the CO2 emitted to charge the vehicle. The CO2 emitted will vary according to the country. The link supplied above gives the CO2 emitted per KW/h of energy production by country. If you are not in the UK, bolt in your country’s number to see your EVs CO2 emissions.
The EV CO2 calculator does not make a judgement on whether a gas which is essential for life on earth (or to quote Wikipedia “the primary carbon source for life on Earth”) is good or bad and/or at what level of that gas in the atmosphere would be bad or good.
