They produce the same if not more emissions than regular cars. They produce more emissions when they are being produced due to the different components they use and then the electricity they use may come from fossil fuels anyway… Not only this but diesel cars can be just as efficient, if not more, than electric cars in everyday use. They do however make a good argument for heavy urban traffic which is why some manufactures are considering implementing them into some of their range especially on performance cars which drink petrol in the city. Hydrogen power cars will be the solution to the problem however but they are several years away before being mainstream. mainstream.
