The most obvious advantage of electric car batteries is that they don’t produce the pollution associated with internal combustion engines. According to the Electric Vehicle Association of Canada‚ or EVAC‚ even EVs recharged from coal-powered electric generators cut carbon emission roughly in half. EVs recharged from cleaner forms of electrical power generation‚ such as hydropower and nuclear plants‚ can reduce carbon emissions to less than one percent of those currently produced by internal combustion
