- pornel 5y agoLarge-scale power plants burn fossil fuels more efficiently than ICE engines. Electricity transmission and charging losses aren't that big, so I'd expect it to be still a net emissions win for EVs. Plus they don't emit NOx right next to you. If your grid sucks, consider installing solar panels and charging your car yourself. Lithium batteries are already used to aid power grids. Mass adoption of EVs and smart grid could actually help by providing storage for wind and solar.
