How EV Charging Benefits Your Sustainability Strategy If your sustainability strategydoesn’t include investments in electricvehicles and EVcharging infrastructure, it’s time to think about how these technologies will play in your company’s plan to reduce environmental impact. Even if you start with adding just a few charging sta- tions, the potential benefits are well worth it. These include:
Air pollutants contribute to air quality issues like smog and can cause health issues
Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) consist of CO2 and methane, which contribute to climate change
EVs, which have zero tailpipe emissions, produce far less well-to-wheel emissions compared to their gasoline or diesel running counterparts. The U.S. Department of Energy reports that on average, vehicles produce the following pounds of CO2-equivalent emissions annually:
Gasoline – 12K lbs. of CO2 Hybrid – 6K lbs. of CO2 Plug-in hybrid electric (PHEV) – 5.9K lbs. of CO2 All electric (BEV) – 4.7K lbs. of CO2
