Is the electric car actually as environmentally friendly as claimed?

It is often argued that electric cars are hardly more environmentally friendly and climate-friendly than vehicles with an internal combustion engine. But this is not true. After all, the longer you drive an electric car, the more the CO2 produced in the production of electric cars evens out - before it falls further and further below the emissions of conventional cars that are still powered by fossil fuels.

The important thing here is that the electricity used comes from renewable sources. Here it is worthwhile to rely on green electricity at home - to be sure that you are really green on the road to the future!
