Total: 150 g/mile

GHG emissions vary based on how the electricity is produced. For example, electricity produced from coal will likely result in significantly higher GHG emissions than electricity produced from renewable sources like wind. This graph shows how the emissions rate for this vehicle where you live compares to the national average. Also shown is the total CO2 emissions rate for the average gasoline car.

*Total emissions rate includes tailpipe emissions and the emissions associated with the production and distribution of fuel.
