EV - Carbon Benefit Analysis

In addition to saving you money, an EV will also significantly reduce your household’s carbon footprint, especially if you can combine the EV with a home solar system. If you charge direct from home solar then your emissions will be zero over 10 years compared to approximately 20 tons of CO2e for an ICE vehicle. Even if you charge from the grid then your CO2e emissions will be approximately 50% of that of an ICE vehicle, and this figure will decrease further as Australia reduces the amount of power generated from coal and gas.
