Do electric cars emit carbon dioxide?

No, electric cars do not emit carbon dioxide during their operation. However, the carbon footprint of an electric car depends on the sources of electricity used to charge its batteries. If the electricity is generated from renewable sources, such as wind or solar power, then the electric car will have a low carbon footprint. However, if the electricity is generated from fossil fuels, such as coal or natural gas, then the electric car will have a higher carbon footprint.
