EV Carbon Footprint Calculator
Compare estimated CO₂ emissions of an electric vehicle and a gasoline car based on electricity source and driving distance.
Result
EV yearly emissions
—
Estimated CO₂ emissions from electricity use.
Gas car yearly emissions
—
Estimated CO₂ emissions from fuel combustion.
Estimated yearly CO₂ savings
—
Potential emissions reduction using an EV.
Emissions per passenger
—
Approximate EV emissions per passenger.
Approximate estimate only. Real vehicle emissions depend on battery manufacturing, electricity production, fuel production, weather, driving conditions, and traffic.
How we calculate
- EV emissions = electricity use × grid CO₂ factor
- Gasoline emissions are estimated using ~2.31 kg CO₂ per liter of gasoline
- Driving style affects both electricity and fuel consumption
- Passenger count reduces emissions per person
