Car Coal
How the environment at this time to charge an electric car?
We all know that there is a huge benefit for driving a zero emission electric vehicles, electric charge but still comes from a coal fired plant in most places. Someone can guide me to any information that shows that even with current twentieth century methods of mass production of electricity, load and driving electric cars is more ecological high-mpg gasoline burning cars normal? Thanks!
Electric motors and batteries are much more efficient than combustion engines. Modern engines are about 12-20% efficiency, while electric motors can be + 90% efficient. Since then depends on how efficient power plants, network and the batteries are. The Economist quotes the latest, per kWh, a combustion engine can lead 1.5 2.5 km, 3.2 km and a diesel hybrid electric car up to 6.3 km. Anyway, the Chevrolet Volt to drive 64 kilometers claims under the charge of 8.8kWh: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Volt O 0.14kWh/km approaches. CO2 emissions from a coal power plant is located between 900-1300g/kWh. Assuming a new power station is relatively 900g: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_footprint # Carbon_footprint_for_various_types_of_electricity_production Just one kilometer in the Volt coal-fired electricity is slightly less than 125g of CO2. A car size Similarly, the United Kingdom Ford Focus Zetex, 155g / km CO2 gets. Small cars and hybrids get lower, however. The grid's average electricity United Kingdom is about 430g/kWh and the U.S. is under 700g. So a Volt in the United Kingdom currently 60g/km, less than any gasoline sold or car diesel. In the USA is under 95g. In France (especially nuclear), which is something like 15g/km, over 90% lower than the Focus. CO2 emissions from electricity many developed nations will probably fall also because of the efficiency and global warming concerns. The United Kingdom is planning a 30% renewable electricity and new generation of nuclear and coal power plants be built without carbon capture part of her.
