The Facts
The four tons of CO2 produced each year by the average automobile remains in the earth’s atmosphere for 45 years. Electric cars produce zero emissions.
Average European automobiles have 12-year lifespans. During that time, car owners will spend three times as much on fuel as they originally paid for the vehicles themselves. On the other hand, charging the typical electric car throughout its entire life will cost only one-third of the original battery price.
By 2020, fuelling a combustion car for a single year will cost more than charging an electric car for its entire life.
