How much C02 do electric cars release?

Electric cars release no C02 during operation since they are powered by electricity and do not have an internal combustion engine. However, the environmental impact of electric vehicles depends on the source of electricity used to charge them. If the electricity is generated from fossil fuels, such as coal or natural gas, then electric cars still contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, although to a lesser extent compared to gasoline-powered vehicles. On the other hand, if the electricity is generated from renewable sources, such as solar or wind power, then electric cars have zero tailpipe emissions and are considered environmentally friendly.
