According to consulting firm Carbone 4, electric vehicles can significantly reduce the carbon footprint of transport solutions. When the entire lifecycle – from manufacture through to recycling – is taken into account, the footprint of an electric car in France or Monaco is a third of that produced by a car powered by a combustion engine. The difference, which is less significant in Germany or Europe as a whole, is due to the fact that France’s electricity is generated by nuclear energy, while in Germany, for example, it is coal powered.
