E Mobility

Emissions are having a serious impact on the climate and environment: More and more CO2 is entering the atmosphere, with the result that the Earth is becoming warmer and warmer. According to a survey by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), traffic is responsible for 24 percent of all CO2 emissions worldwide. Electric vehicles counter that: Unlike gasoline and diesel cars, they don’t emit any CO2 when driven. Yet: E-cars are CO2-neutral in the full sense of the word only if the batteries and the electricity to power them are produced using renewable energies.

Low-emission cars also mean better air quality and therefore have a positive effect on people’s health – especially in conurbations. And the number of people living in cities will grow: The UNO’s World Urbanization Prospects 2014 report concludes that almost 70 percent of the world’s population will live in urban regions by 2050.
