[Visualization Monday] Electric vs petrol

Depending on where you are in the world, you might be actually doing more damage than good driving an electrical car.

The following image shows the emissions of electric cars driven in various countries and what's expected to happen in 2030 assuming the current technological trajectory.

To lower the emissions as much as possible, batteries need to be produced in countries that pollute less, and electricity needs to be generated from "green" sources.

Getting electricity from fossil fuels to charge an electric car because you don't want to use fossil fuels makes no sense. Electricity needs to come from renewable sources.
