The significant advantage of electric cars is that, in addition to reducing air pollution, they may improve ambient air quality. There are no carbon dioxide emissions when driving an electric car with no tailpipe because the vehicle operates on electricity only. Air pollution levels drop considerably as a result of this.
Simply said, electric vehicles reduce pollution and make it easier for pedestrians and cyclists to traverse our towns and cities. Just a single electric car on the road can save roughly 1.5 million grams of CO2 over a year, equivalent to four return flights from Abu Dhabi to Kathmandu.
