Compensate for carbon dioxide emission
16 February 2010
Every electric vehicle purchased from EV Adapt includes a share in a wind turbine.
This helps you to compensate for carbon dioxide emissions.
Energy sources used to produce electricity are wind power, water power, cole, biofuel, oil, solar power and others.
With the mixture of sources mentioned above, used for the production of electricity in Europe, the effect is that an electric car emits 60-65 g of carbon dioxide per kilometer.
No matter which electricity provider you have, you can compensate for these emissions by owning shares in a wind turbine power plant for electric cars. With your share you compensate för carbon dioxide emissions equivalent to driving an electric car for 6500-9000 kilometers.
If you "fill up" your electric car with wind electricity the result is thus zero emission of carbon dioxide. The only pollution from electric cars, powered by electricity from wind, is from tires and brakes.
How many electric cars can be powered by a wind turbine? The wind turbune we include a share in can produce the electricity for 2000 electric cars, each driven
20 000 kilometers per year. An equivalent number of petrol fueled cars emits approximately 12 000 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide per year.
It takes 1 1/2 minute of power production, according to the figures above, to run the
EV Adapt Fiat 500EV for 120 kilometers.
