ELECTRIC VEHICLES

Purchasing an electric vehicle (EV) is one of the most powerful actions an individual can take to reduce their carbon footprint. Transportation produces 27% of all carbon emissions in the US and 60% is from vehicles used for commuting. EVs produce zero exhaust emissions, reducing smog and air pollution.

While EVs reduces emissions created while traveling, the electric grid is primarily powered by coal in the Midwest to Northeast. What is a concerned citizen to do? The obvious answer is to run your EV on solar.
